Indian Kids Must Study, Not Work: 

India's plans to allow children to work for family businesses and bar teenagers from employment in only a few hazardous industries are 'regressive', Nobel Laureate and child rights activist Kailash Satyarthi said on Tuesday.

Government must change all the rules and send all Indian Students to school, not work in private business and become bar teenaging. 

The government wants to amend a three-decade-old law which bans children under 14 from working in 18 hazardous occupations and 65 processes including mining, gem cutting, cement manufacture and hand-looms.
If passed by parliament in the coming weeks, the changes will outlaw child labour below 14 in all sectors, stiffen penalties for offenders and expand the age range covered to 15- to 18-year-olds.
But there are exceptions.
Children who help their family or family businesses can work outside school hours, and those in entertainment or sports can work provided it does not affect their education.

Also, children aged 15 to 18 will be barred from working in only three hazardous industries, Satyarthi said.
