In a surprise raid conducted by officials of the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights at farms in Sabarkantha and Banaskantha, around 12-13 children were found working even during this off-season period. The officials are in Gujarat on a three-day visit to meet NGOs working against child labour, and government officials. NCPCR member Yogesh Dubey says, “We reached Ahmedabad on Friday and on Saturday visited Sabarkantha and Banaskantha. During our surprise visits we found children working in BT cotton seeds fields. Four children were working on one farm and 8 on another.”
