Their tender hands no more had to do strenuous work for survival. The International labour organisation (ILO) has come to the rescue of millions of child labourers in Andhra Pradesh, who sans any education lead the life in a hard way. A unique five million dollar pilot project sponsored by the ILO for the elimination of child labour is being launched in the state, which with 16 million child labourers (1991 statistics), holds the dubious distinction of being a topper in the country to practise the social evil.
