Aadhar is a unique identification number that consists of 12-digits. For the residents of India, it is a voluntary service from the government. A recent case has gotten the attention of the media regarding Aadhar in the Jaipur city of India. Jaipur is the capital as well as the largest city of the Rajasthan state of India. In 2011, the population was around 3.1 million and it was considered as the 10th largest city of India. A case has been reported in Jaipur that 27 young boys had been rescued by the child commission team on 4th March 2021. The minor boys were found from an unauthorized accommodation at Chomu near Jaipur. It was also reported that all the boys had their Aadhar card that contains Vishwa Hindu Parishad Ashram as their house address. It is stated that by Monday an official report will be prepared with the complete statement of all the Children. The VHP staff claimed that they had done many efforts but they are still unable to know the identity of these kids. The child commission team also alleged that no one had reached them for providing any sort of help regarding this case.
The team said that the shelter house was commonly used as a child trading. They said that it is quite possible that the boys were brought to be used as child labor. They provided the details to the media that once the raid was done, the villagers and mafia helped 2 boys out of 29 to run away on Monday.
The chairperson of Rajasthan State Commission For Protection of Child Rights SangeetaBeniwal raised a question by saying that if the organization is really willing to help society and the children, so why they do not do anything for the Rajasthan children. She further added that the 27 boys had Rajasthan Ashram’s address on their Aadhar card instead of their actual house address.
According to our news reporter, all the rescued boys were young and they were between the age of 7 and 16 years. These young age boys belong to the states like Nagaland, Meghalaya, Uttar Pradesh, and Nepal.
According to the VHP office bearer, they do not have the right to get the ashram registered by themselves. However, if these are facing any sort of difficulties, then they should easily go to the Rajasthan Child Protection department. She said that they did not pay a visit to us for any help and guide. As per our research, we found out that several same centers are running all across the country. As per the VHP officer, on Monday a proper report will be provided to the department after the survey.
Child labor is a nasty activity and should be demotivated by the Government as well as the local municipal Government level and Strict action should be taken about child labor. It is all about the future of the nation and this case cannot be treated with a soft hand.
