Example of Speech on Evil Practice

Good evening friends! I, Pankaj Parashar, stand before you to present my views on the evil of child labour in India.

Friends, you might have visited canteens, restaurants, tea stalls, dhabas, or so. Try to recollect who serves you food. You'd have found a boy serving tea, eatables, or washing dishes. Have you ever thought why they have been working there, in place of going to school? Yes, they are forced to do these odd jobs.

Not only there, but they are also employed in extremely difficult and risky jobs. They are exposed to gruesome conditions where none of the safety recommendations are adhered to. The obvious reason of their employment is employers' approach. They find it profitable to employ children as they would work for longer hours at lesser wages than adults. Illiteracy, ignorance and poverty among people are some other reasons for the flourishing child labor in the country. People feel that children should be employed in order to sustain the family. They also think, by employing at the tender age, they'll get expertise in a particular field. But this statement seems laced with selfish motives rather than a favorable and sane argument. Unhygienic conditions take their toll and most of them succumb to various diseases before their youth. Sometimes in the absence of education and proper childhood, they take to immoral ways to sustain themselves and their family.
