Jagran correspondent, Patna. Child labor is a leprosy for the society, the need of the hour is to eliminate it completely. Even today, if thousands of children are involved in child labour, then it is a matter of utmost concern. Once children get the opportunity of education and knowledge, they will definitely move forward and bring happiness in their lives.

The Deputy Chief Minister said that the government has a clear aim to connect child laborers with the mainstream and send them to school. In five years, it will be ensured that no child in Bihar becomes a laborer and every child gets the right to education.
He said that mere counting of figures will not suffice, rather more and more children will have to be rescued at the grassroots level and connected with education. In the workshop, Chief Guest Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary released the diary of the year 2026 of Bihar State Child Labor Commission.
Chairman of Bihar State Child Labor Commission, Ashok Kumar Badal said that until every child does not go to school, does not play and does not fulfill his dreams, the dream of developed India and advanced Bihar will remain incomplete.
