Biography of Kailash Satyarthi

Kailash Satyarthi was born at Vidisha in Madhya Pradesh on 11th January,1954. He attended in the Government Boys   Secondary School at Vidisha and later completed Electrical Engineering as well as a post – graduate degree in high- voltage engineering after that he worked as a lecturer in a college in Bhopal for a few   years. In 1980, he gave up his job and became the secretary general for the Bonded Labour Liberation Front .

      Kailash Satyarthi received the Nobel Peace Prize in December, 2014. He is an advocate of Indians children’s rights and an activist who has fought relentlessly against child labour. It is a wide spread problem that his driven millions of young children to work in different areas, instead of attending school and playing. He founded Bachpan Bachao Andolan in 1980 . He has worked to protect the rights of more than 83,000 children from 144 countries.

Here are the highlights of Kailash Satyarthy’s speech- He said, “ I represent here the sound the silence. The cry  of   innocence….I have come to share the voices and dreams of our children, our children, because they all are our children. 20 years ago, in the foothills of the Himalayas, he met a small skinny boy who asked him if the world was so poor that it could not give him a toy  to play and a book to read .  Kailash Satyarthi   emphasized  that the main object of his life is that every child should be free to be a child, free to grow and develop, free to eat, sleep, see daylight, free to laugh and cry,  free to play, free to learn,  free to go to school ,and above all ,free to dream . He also stressed on the fact that he refused to accept that all the laws  , judges and the police are not able to protect children. In the age of rapid globalization, there is a lack of compassion. The children who stitch footballs have never played with one, children who harvest cocoa ,do  not know the taste of chocolate. They all belong to us. Every   single minute matters and every child matters.’’

I BELIEVE WE SHOULD HELP NEEDY, ESPECIALLY THE CHILDREN, WHEREVER AND WHENEVER  POSSIBLE.
