Details of Achievements :
Right from its inception Bonded Labour Liberation Front (BLLF) has been struggling very hard to combat this menace. The magnitude of this issue may be well imagined as captains of Industries and services have not only muscles power but also they enjoy political clout in the corridors of power. To combat muscle and money power, Bonded Labour Liberation Front (BLLF) had to adopt a multi-pronged strategy which is being followed unrelentlessly. However, in this course of time, new modalities were adopted to cause dent on this issue. These are outlined as under: 1. To identify bonded labour in various sectors of economy, their release and rehabilitation. BMM adopted a two-fold method i.e., direct intervention and through courts. 2. To address the related issues i.e., (i) free and compulsory elementary education to all children upto the age of 14. (ii) Implementation of prescribed minimum wage rigidly. (iii) Introduction of National Minimum Wage. It should be equivalent to first day salary of new entrant class IV employee of the Government. (iv) Provision of one kg of cereals to all poor children for each day of schooling as a measure of food security to the poor family. 3. To carry out awareness campaign against this abominable system in the areas having predominance of bonded labour and child labour. 4. To organize Regional and National seminar on bonded labour and child labour to highlight the plight of this poor lot and to design measures to mitigate their abject condition . Against all odds, Bonded Labour Liberation Front (BLLF) has achieved the release of over 1,75,000 bonded Indians from the shackles of slavery. Of these, about 26,000 were children. A large number of them have been rehabilitated. From the Carpet Industry alone, about 10,000 children mostly migrants were rescued and sent back home. 2. BMM set up ten non-formal education centres for child labour in stone quarries of Faridabad (eight) and in brick kilns (two) Meerut District, with financial aid from ILO/IPEC and other funding agencies. Another one has been set up in Garhi (slum area) East of Kailash, South Delhi with aid from individual donors. 3. Another unique venture of BMM is that of providing vocational training skills and basic education/literacy to ex-bonded child labour at Dayanand Shilp Vidyalaya, Gurukul Indraprastha, Faridabad. Two batches comprising 65 child trainees have passed out successfully. They had undergone one-year training in two trades i.e. tailoring and carpentry combined with training in education/literacy, yoga and spiritual development. This programme has been appreciated both by foreign and Indian dignitaries. It has completely transformed these trainees and now they feel confident to open a new vista of life for themselves and their families to lead a dignified life.
