Write an article in about 150–200 words on the role of literacy in eradicating the evil practice of child labour from society.

Loss of life


It was very unfortunate to witness the site near the Gajraula where the accident took place. The luxury bus was on its way to the resorts that was located in the outskirts. They were on travel for continuously 10 hours without a break. For a second the driver dozed off and it collided with a water tanker. The driver died at the spot and the one sitting beside the driver died on the spot.


The bus was completely damaged and out of 54, 20 had died, 15 are critical and the others are under surveillance. Because of the water tank, there was no trace of fire thus saving the life of others. Thus, it is advisable to drive safe. Hurrying to reach somewhere will take you nowhere.

Literacy plays an important role in upbringing an individual. Without education, one cannot contribute to society. I am associated with an NGO and I am very shattered by seeing the conditions of the people around. Child labour is prevailing these days and has become a fashion. Regular counselling is conducted to teach regarding education and its importance.


These days education has become of prime importance to survive in this society. Without education, a man is half alive. Literacy plays an important role in eradicating the evil practice of child labour. Child labour has become a crime these days. So, it is necessary for the children and parents to come forward and make themselves and their children aware regarding the same. Let’s make the whole country educated and make this world a better place to live in. It is well said that, if you educate a man then you educate an individual but if you educate a girl you tend to educate the whole nation.
