Children constitute a major source of income for poverty struck families. These helpless children are denied education and are taken to factories or mines by their parents so that they can get trained while working. Owing to the high demand of Indian carpets in the international market around 1970s, the number of child labour increased drastically.

Despite a lot of surveillance by the Indian government, children below the age of 10 years still work on looms or mines behind the closed doors. Denied a normal childhood, some children are confined and beaten or even reduced to slavery. Some are denied freedom of movement—the right to leave the workplace and go home to their families. Some are abducted and forced to work.

We strictly discourage child labour. Though we have 35000 artisans linked to us in every way, we ensure that their families are aware about the importance of basic education and their children are not tortured to work for a living. We encourage our weavers to provide proper care, nourishment and primary education to their children. We make our weavers self-sufficient and self-reliant in every way that they can afford a qualitative standard of living.
