Aiming eradication of child labour practice in Bt Cotton fields, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights has written to the Central Labour Ministry to include the Bt Cotton fields under the prohibited list of hazardous areas where child labourers cannot be employed. The move is significant because a large number of child labourers are believed to be toiling in the Bt Cotton fields of Gujarat, North Gujarat in specific. NCPCR had, after its visit to Gujarat earlier this month, expressed anger over the ’rampant’ child labour practice in Bt Cotton fields of Banaskantha district.
