65% fall in child labourers, but we still have 44 lakh

Children in UP are employed in the carpet and textile industries as well as domestic help in cities. "Many children are employed in carpet and textile industries in the state. We have adopted 200 villages in the state and have successfully weaned away children from these industries," said Lenin Raghuvanshi, executive director, Peoples' Vigilance Committee on Human Rights (PVCHR) involved in Varanasi and nearby districts. Campaign and boycott of goods made by Indian children across the world has also lent a sense of urgency to tackling the social evil.
