Hand Book for Gaon Burahs and Panchayati Raj Leader

88being of the society to which they represents. They could help thegovernments by participating in the process of identification of child labouroccupations and processes in which child labours are engaged, rehabilitationsprocess like selection of beneficiaries, project proposals for NCLP schemeand functioning of schemes and by participating in monitoring and evaluationprocess. More so, they can also directly be involved as an implementingagency of NCLP scheme like running of special child labour welfare schools,awareness and publicity campaign etc. Being member of district level Projectsocieties, the Panchayat Raj Institutions members have the all powers,functions and role to be played as exercisable by other members fromGovernment departments and members of NGOs.The village Gaon burahs can play the role of quasi-Judicial authority anda credible advocate by admitting certain complains of child labour anddisposed cases according to traditional and customary laws and under certainGovernment Regulations. The GBs /PRI members have the role of aninformant and advise and aware the village masses and be a coordinatorbetween Government and the people. They can be a logical leader fordiscovering and denouncing child labour abuses at local level and can beseen as protector of child’s right.Thus no Govt. policies can successful without participation ofpeople and the society.At the concluding remark, I am of the view that the child labour is asocial crime created by an irresponsible section of the society. No economicand social issue is more serious than the denial of rights to a child. Childlabour perpetuate poverty and degrade the stock of human capital necessaryfor economic and the social development. Constitution of child labours createsunemployment and underemployment of the adults. It is an abuse to thehuman rights, so unanimously condemn yet so widely practised. Still itspractice is surrounded by a wall of silence and perpetuated by ignorance andilliteracy, which the present society has the responsible to break, erase onceand for all.
