Abstract
Child labour remains a major issue in India due to poverty and lack of education. This paper
looks at the legal foundation for preventing it, including international agreements and Indian
laws like the Right to Education Act, the Child and Adolescent Labour Act, and the
Constitution. It emphasizes weaknesses including lax enforcement, narrow definitions of
hazardous work, and the family company exception while highlighting benefits such legislative
prohibition. The study comes to the conclusion that, even with strict rules, child labor must be
eradicated and children's rights must be upheld.
