Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi says that proposed amendments to the child labour laws in India are progressive but need more work. He urges young people to be the drivers of change and help eradicate child labour. His advice to the youth: 'Refuse to eat at friends' homes where kids are employed as domestic helps'.
