Micro donation preventing child exploitation and envisaging the plan to save humanity

Abstract

In some traditional occupations where skills are handed down from one generation to the other, children tend to follow the footsteps of the parents right from their childhood. Illiteracy among parents and ignorance of the intrinsic value of education also facilitated the growth of child labor. The most important factor contributing to child exploitation problem is poverty. The low income of the parents which is not adequate to meet the basic needs of the family, force the children to work and supplement the family income. The abject poverty and unemployment forces children to take up un-remunerative or low-remuneration work, which results into many social evils. Such a pathetic situation has been observed in and around our own college which is under construction for near completion and lot of laborers is at work full day and night leaving their children at home. Children are idle and have nothing to do than to either play with stones or run behind their parents finding interest in lifting bricks or rotating the crushers. In this context the paper studies in detail about the surrounding children exploitation and discusses about the actual survey been done with them where their demand of English education and Technical advancement is of utmost necessity. The paper explores about how technology can play a vital role in solving such common social problems. It tries to bring out the fact that social problems when coupled with technology can solve many existing issues in our country. Focusing on this issue, a community service has been started in the premises of campus where education to children of laborers is provided which is financially supported with the concept of micro-donation from each individual of college campus, rupees five per semester (six months). Thereby bringing awareness and uplifting weaker sections of society with technology as a methodology.
