Abstract

A new system of employing girl children as `bonded labourers' in cottonseed field has come into practice in recent years in the rural South India. The main reason for this is the introduction of hybrid seed product in this area in the early 1970s. In no other industry does one find such a high employment of girl children. Hybrid cottonseed production is concentrated in South India particularly in the Telangana and Rayalaseema regions of A.P. and Northern districts of Karnataka. The present study `Girl Child Bonded Labour in Cottonseed Fields’ shows new forms of exploitation of girl children in cottonseed farms. The MV Foundations attempts in Rangareddy District are currently in the direction of building an atmosphere to enable child labour join schools.
