We will miss him dearly: Anil Kapoor pays tribute to Rakesh Jhunjhunwala

Bollywood star Anil Kapoor on Friday kick-started a campaign to highlight the plight of millions of children in India who are forced into work. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The campaign is run by the Children&#39;s Charity Plan India. It aims to use Kapoor - a veteran Hindi film actor - to raise awareness and encourage the public to shake off apathy linked to decades of social acceptance of child labour.<br />
<br />
Kapoor, best known internationally for his role in Danny Boyle&#39;s Oscar-winning 2008 film &#39;Slumdog Millionaire&#39;, said millions of children in the country were being exploited, largely due to poverty, and as a result not going to school.<br />
<br />
&quot;Our economic progress loses a lot of meaning if hundreds of thousands of children have no hopes of a future,&quot; Kapoor told a news conference launching the campaign in Mumbai.<br />
<br />
&quot;Child labour and exploitation must end. We are all responsible for coming generations and the world we leave to them. It is time our movement became everybody&#39;s movement.&quot;<br />
<br />
Census data shows there were 4.35 million labourers aged between 5-14 in 2011 against 12.66 million a decade ago - although activists say the figures are under-reported.<br />
<br />
A February 2015 report by the International Labour Organization puts the number of child workers in India aged between 5-17 at 5.7 million, out of 168 million globally.<br />
<br />
More than half are in agriculture, toiling in cotton, sugarcane and rice paddy fields where they are often exposed to pesticides and risk injury from sharp tools and heavy equipment.<br />
<br />
Over a quarter work in manufacturing - confined to poorly lit, barely ventilated rooms in slums, embroidering clothes, weaving carpets, making matchsticks or rolling beedi cigarettes.<br />
<br />
Children also work in restaurants and hotels, washing dishes and chopping vegetables, or in middle-class homes, cleaning and scrubbing floors.<br />
<br />
Kapoor said he joined the campaign as he wanted to be a positive role model and hoped his actions would inspire others to see how child labour was an abusive practice, robbing children of their future.<br />
<br />
He said that parents should also realise that while they needed the income earned by their children, it was important to focus on their education.<br />
<br />
&quot;It is mainly because these kids are so easily exploitable. Plus the problem is compounded by poverty,&quot; he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation on the sidelines of the event.<br />
<br />
&quot;So many times household help will bring their kids to work, but the focus should be on educating these children, not on getting them to work too.&quot;<br />
