Government should take measures to control the high birth rate ,family planning should be widely introduced in the area.
illiteracy ranks second to poverty so free education should be provided in the area to over come this issue.
The role of NGOs is also important they should conduct seminars regarding negative effects of child labor.

The situation in rural areas are
different from those in urban areas.

Economical conditions of area, Class
discrimination is a reason for child
labor),
but these were included in conclusion
part
Very small sample size and not
representative sample size.
