The youth have the advantage of viewing obstacles faced by them during the process of achieving their goals as challenges rather than difficulties. This, coupled with their exuberance in involving themselves in activities completely, at various levels, deems them as an indispensable part of the system.

In almost every village, the youth play an important role in:

• mobilising support and motivating communities to join the campaign against child labour
• establishing contacts with the Gram Panchayat and involving the Sarpanch in the program
• bringing pressure on schools
• taking on employers and even facing their wrath
• organising meetings in expression of solidarity
