After three years of persistent advocacy-cum-awareness campaigns for child labor eradication, jointly organized by the International Labor Organization (ILO)'s 'Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work in Cotton Supply Chain' project and Telangana, the results showed That the involvement of child labor in this supply chain has disappeared. According to state government officials, several reports have also indicated positive results of invisible child labor in the cotton fields.
Labor Additional Commissioner E Gangadhar said the project was implemented in the four major cotton districts of Nalgonda, Warangal Rural, Adilabad and Adilabad. “I can confirm that we almost do not see child labor in cotton fields in these regions. Maharashtra, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab and Telangana are the major cotton producing states and Telangana alone is the country It accounts for about 15% of the total cotton growing area of India.
According to data from the Periodic Labor Force Survey (PLFS) 2018-19, there are mainly three types of labor in cotton cultivation in Telangana – own cultivation, family labor and casual labor (which constitute 46 per cent of the state's majority workforce). In addition, the proportion of women under 18 in casual labor is higher than that of men.
According to studies, children under the age of 18 working in cotton fields cite a variety of reasons, with a majority (83.9 percent) citing the need to supplement family income, followed by fewer farmers. Age is a priority for labor. Lack of supervision and absenteeism by school teachers for children working in cotton fields has also been cited as a reason. Other important reasons for teenagers below 18 working in cotton fields include advances taken from cotton farmers by elders in the family.
