बाल मज़दूरी
बाल मज़दूरी इस देश पर सबसे बड़ा खतरा है और बेरोज़गारी भारत की सबसे बड़ी और महत्वपूर्ण समस्या है। यह समस्या बहुत गंभीर हैं। स्थिति यह है कि दुनिया में असंख्य लोग अशिक्षित हैं। इसी कारण लोगों को रोजगार मिल नहीं पाता और इसी कारण लोग अपने बच्चों को पढ़ा नहीं पाते। भारत में बहुत से लोग बेरोज़गारी के कारण अपनी संतान को विद्यालय नहीं भेज पाते और वे लोग दोषी हैं। वे लोग अपने बच्चों को काम पर भेज देते हैं पैसे कमाने के लिए। बाल मज़दूरी का एक कारण जनसंख्या वृद्धि है अगर इसे रोका जा सकता है तो हम 50 प्रतिशत इस बाल श्रम को रोक सकते हैं सरकार को कुछ बातों पर ध्यान देना चाहिए जैसे शिक्षा व्यवसाय केंद्रित हो, विद्यार्थियों को शिक्षा के साथ-साथ उचित परामर्श भी दिया जाए आदि आज बाल श्रम को रोकने को कई राजनैतिक दल आश्वासन देते हैं पर कोई भी इस बात पर अमल नहीं करता बहुत से दल यह कहते है कि हम प्रत्येक व्यक्ति को रोजगार देंगे और यदि संभव न हुआ तो बेरोजगारी भत्ता देंगे जिससे किसी भी व्यक्ति को अपने बच्चों को मज़दूरी करने न भेजना पड़े। वे आश्वासन देते है कि हम बाल मजदूरी रोक देंगे पर यह सब खत्म करने का किसी के सामर्थ्य में नहीं हैं। बालमजदूरी एक अभिशाप है। यह हमारी समाज की विडंबना को दर्शाता हैं। यह हमारी समाज की नींव को खोखला कर देती हैं। यह हमारी सामाजिक असमानता को दर्शाता है। ग़रीब बच्चों को कई विषम परिस्थितियों में काम पर जाना पड़ता हैं। कुछ बच्चों के माता पिता निर्धन होते हैं इस कारण बच्चों को धन कमाने के लिए विवश होना पड़ता हैं। अनुकूल परिस्थितियाँ होने के कारण बच्चे सुविधा और मनोरंजन से वंचित रहते हैं। समाज़ और सरकार को इस विषय के प्रति जागरूक करना होगा। अतः हमें इनका बचपन छीनने और उनके उमंग और उल्लास को निराशा में बदलने से रोकना होगा जब देश से बाल श्रम खत्म हो जाएगा तब इस देश का भविष्य उज्ज्वल होगा।

When I fall,
You are there.
Sometimes you scold,
But my hand, you always hold.
When you teach me,
Then I understand.
You are always with me,
You are my best friend.
In daytime you are not with me,
But I know it is just for me.
When you are not at home,
Then I feel alone.
