Dalit Hak Rakshak Manch, an NGO, organised a discussion on Sunday on the exploitation of minor tribal girls and boys working in Bt cotton fields in the districts of North Gujarat. Rajesh Solanki of the NGO, which works for the welfare of Dalits and other marginalised people, gave an account of the condition of minor children who are forced to work as labourers in the cotton fields for a petty amount. Solanki said the tribal children from Banaskantha, Sabarkantha and other Gujarat towns located on the border with Rajasthan are brought to the Bt cotton fields by agents who pay their parents a hefty amount.
