The law has fixed working hours of four and a half hours every day for children in the age group of 14 to 18 years and banned them from working at night.

A bond of hope was also filled from the traders and contractors from the people. In future, they will never get the work done for children below 14 years of age and if anyone sees them doing work for children below 14 years of age, they will be stopped and complain will be made.
The most important way to stop child labor is to spread awareness against child labor so that people understand that child labor is playing with the future of the country. They have to be told that the future of India, which lies in the children of India through child labor, is becoming mentally and physically weak. Another way to stop child labor is the promotion of education because the illiterate person does not understand child labor. If education is spread, then child labor will be stopped and people will be aware of child labor.
