2. Childhood & Early Life
 Kailash Satyarthi was born on 11 January 1953 in Vidisha, a small town
in Madhya Pradesh, a state in India. Even as a child he was a very
compassionate individual. He noticed that some children did not go to
school like he did and instead worked under harsh conditions to earn
money.
 Disturbed by the inequalities he witnessed, he decided to do
something about it. He asked his classmates to donate textbooks and
money to the underprivileged so that the poor kids too got a chance
to study.
 He studied electrical engineering in a Bhopal college and went on to
earn a post-graduate diploma in high-voltage engineering.

3. Movement Against Child Labor
Nobel Peace Prize winner Kailash Satyarthi gave up his job
as an electrical engineer to dedicate himself to protecting
and advancing child rights for over three decades now,
freeing 80,000 child laborers and giving them new hope in
life.
From the factories exploiting children in the country’s
biggest cities like Delhi and Mumbai to the hinterland of
Odisha and Jharkhand where children are still illegally
employed as bonded laborers, his organization has rescued
them in almost all parts of country.
 He has advocated for stricter laws against child
trafficking and labor and met with mixed success so far.I never go to temples, but when I see a child, I see God in
them.

remains, but I will see the end
of child labor in my lifetime.
-Kailash Satyarthi

6. How Kailash Satyarthi helped a bunch of reporters bust a child labour
racket
Basic idea behind the incident!!!
There was a devastating fire in an illegal factory in
central Delhi's Beadonpura. It had left six charred to
death. They couldn't escape the fire at night because
they were locked in by the factory owner lest they
escape. The incident was widely reported for a few
days and then it vanished.
 A little sniffing around revealed a sordid reality buried in the
heart of the capital. These areas, part of Karol Bagh, were
home to a number of jewellery factories that employed children
from West Bengal. Some of them as young as eight. I had met
Satyarthi at one of his numerous conferences that he held to
garner media support for the cause of missing children and

7.  We were looking for more than just a story. We wanted to rescue
these children and rehabilitate them. Satyarthi assigned his Bachpan
Bachao Aandolan colleague Rakesh Sengar to work with us. We had to
be discreet, we had to have evidence beforehand, and we had to have
this all on tape to precede any kind of raid. The area, Beadonpura and
Raigarpura, is heavily congested, the kundan units (jewellery
factories) belong to the rich and powerful traders who have huge
showrooms in Karol Bagh's gold street.
 We discovered that there was a institute for jewellery worksmanship.
I decided to pose as a student of the institute and roped in a young
reporter, Shivika Shankar, to join me. On our very first day, we were
confronted with a heart-wrenching sight. We saw close to a dozen
young boys, holed up in a less-than-10x10-feet room, sitting around a
gas-burner, throwing high flame to melt gold and other metals.
 There was no ventilation either. Their young faces shone in the fierce
blaze of the furnace. A fan meant risking a fire. I happened to look at
the fingertips of one boy, the residue of chemicals on his burnt
fingers made him look like a character from a sci-fi film. With acid,
potassium cyanide, nickel, the dank air was poisonous. We later
learned that seven out of ten children here would end up contracting
tuberculosis.

8.  For a couple of thousand rupees for a month's work, they were being
exposed to toxic fumes and debilitating chemicals. They ate, slept,
worked in that low-ceiling dungeon, with a disturbing stench.
 On the pretext of learning traditional jewellery design, we
continued visiting them over the week and secretly recorded
our conversations.Once we had it all, the BBA team and the
Delhi Police swung into action. Policemen, who are used to such
extreme cases, were also shocked to see the state of affairs in
these hellholes.The Delhi government intervened to rehabilitate
the children and take legal action. Kailash Satyarthi was happy
with the work. He undertook this as a mission. We understood
why. The joy of breaking another child labour ring. The
assurance that these 100 street children can see the light of
the day, and will be taken care of.
Resolve to “RESCUE ” the children
grew even stronger

9.  All that glitters is not gold. Kailash and his colleagues
like Rakesh are real gold.
Today the new Nobel Peace Laureate from India is a
man as good as gold…
