It would appear that COVID-19 has thwarted all of the efforts made by the Indian government to provide children with improved opportunities in terms of both their education and their lives. There has been a global rise in the number of students who drop out of school due to a variety of factors, including the unavailability of online education and the precarious financial circumstances of their parents. At that age, children are supposed to be learning, playing, studying, and dreaming about what they want to be in the future. However, child labour robs them of the opportunity to learn, play, study, and dream about what they want to be in the future, and it forces them to work hard both physically and mentally for a meagre wage.
