 The 14-year-old wanted to study but ended up as a domestic help in Bangalore, acting on the will of a parasitic father and feelings for a mother who toiled daily to feed six mouths. "I was made to do all sorts of house chores. I also looked after the child of my employers. At times, I was beaten up," said the girl, who is now enrolled at a school in Orissa. It took the authorities much effort to convince her father to send her to school.

Taking note of such stories, the Prime Minister's wife, Gursharan Kaur, on Saturday said policies and NGOs alone would not be able to weed out child labour and a change in social attitudes was needed.

"If everyone decides that they will not employ children, it will help a lot. It is the poor who send their children to work due to their low earnings. If their own families do not understand the child's rights, who will?" said Kaur. "It is not an easy job but we all have to work towards it."
