Child ‘Playmates’ Booming Business
Hired Indian kids are known as "playmates" for babies or "household helps."
Recruiters rationalize that they "are doing something noble by helping feed and clothe poor village children."
Others are just looking for a profit – "earning between 3,000 and 10,000 rupees per child, as well as a percentage of the child's monthly wages."
The children make around 100 rupees a month, ($2.25) depending on their chores.
Indian government estimates that there are about 12 million children under 14 that are employed. Children activists say it is much more…maybe 5 times more.
Nevertheless, children are employed as maids, slaves, little worker bees and given just enough to subsist on.
Villagers are deceived into thinking their children will be given a better life. The moms and dads who give up their children don't know any better.
I worked with a friend in India to buy back many of the children who were sold into slavery. Some parents did NOT want their children back even though they knew the truth.
We made arrangements to provide for the returned children and other villagers became jealous and refused to allow the children to come home.
The problem is not that children become laborers. The problem is that India's village people are not educated enough to stop having and selling their youngsters.
Some of the children we bought back are grown now. These former 'child slaves' know first hand the experience they went through. Their voice is much more powerful than mine.
It may take several generations…but if enough of these children are returned, educated and become advocates, then will changes take place.
Until that time, child labor will continue to thrive in India.
Do you think there is another way to prevent child labor?
The Right Concept Marketing Business initially established as Textile Unit in 1977 and recently established RCM Business in 2002 in Bhilwara, Rajasthan as a sister concern of M/s. Fashion Suiting Pvt. Ltd. (1986) in Bhilwara, Rajasthan by its CEO MR. T.C. Chhabra – The RCM Business has changed the life style of many ordinary and low income Indian, so much that today all of these who are RCM distributors look like well off executives, even the knowledge imparted to these distributors has changed their outlook and made them more social and confident to converse with the outside world. This is a great noble vision of Mr. T.C. Chhabra to make each and every Indian proud by making them Economically Independent and improving quality of their eating, wearing and living habbits like we say in Hindi = Roti, Cappada aur Makkan (RCM).
So three cheers to Right Concept Marketing Business for making so huge a change with negligible investment and each RCM distributor automatically gets associated with all well know brands and products of RCM Business after joining and attending its various meetings that teach to practice all good things and qualities before they can actually go to others to preach.
JAI RCM!!!!!
