Author

Listed:
  • M. Nagarjuna

Abstract

The Poverty Argument arises from the single fact that any family with a critically low level of income and struggling to keep “the wolf from the door†must, in order to survive, send the children to work The MVF Project rejects the Poverty Argument and its implication of the inevitability of child labour. the project places considerable emphasis on motivation of parents and the mobilizing of the community at large. Processes are built up to bridge the gap between an illiterate household and the school keeping in view the large number of factors that work to sustain this gap.
