In the world of inequality and inequity the greatest neglect is suffered by the “marginalized children†who are forced to work due to economic reasons and are further pushed into “drug abuse†due to criminalization of an insensitive social system. This book attempts to draw the attention of social scientists, social workers, politicians and administrators to the problem of Drug abuse among Child workers. The problem is complex and compounded due to its nature and determinants. It is not a mere research report, it is a “wake up†call to join in the effort to reconstruct a social order through realignment of all for bringing back smile on the face of innocent children.
