Child labour in Zari Industry  

India has the largest number of working children in the world. It is estimated that 60 to 115 million children are working in India. Most or all of these children are working under some form of compulsion, whether from their parents, from the expectations attached to their caste, or from simple economic necessity. At least fifteen million of them, however, are workings as virtual slaves. These are the bonded child laborers of India.

"Bonded child labor" refers to the phenomenon of children working in From( can be written as- phenomenon of working children from ) picking rags, building bricks, working in the domestic households, rolling beedi (cigarette) leaves,manufacturing firecrackers to weaving carpet in looms and in zari (embroidery) manufacturing units. Conservative reports suggest that there are about 1 lakh child labourers in embroidery and zari sweatshops in Delhi and nearly the same numbers in Mumbai and elsewhere.
