Children&#8217;s rights activists say there are between 10 and 15 million children across the country who work, which will make the enforcement of this ban very difficult. What&#8217;s even worse is the absence of a rehabilitation package for the children who lose their jobs because of the ban. Mania Panda, a domestic servant, is one example. Last year, both his parents died after which he had to drop out of school in Bhadrak and go to Bhubaneswar looking for work. A roadside restaurant where he was working until recently was the only place he found work, food and shelter. Now, after the center&#8217;s ban he has lost even that. Child Rights activists say the ban should have been followed up with a rehabilitation package for these children. &#8220;It&#8217;s estimated that there are over 13 million children in the domestic sector. Where will the children go if we are not going to provide them with the alternative,&#8221; said Ranjan Mohanty, National Convener, Campaign Against Child Labour.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>www.ndtv.com NEW DELHI, INDIA, October 12, 2006: The Central government&#8217;s ban on employing children below the age of 14 in,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11841"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11841\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
