Relevance for Banking, SSC & RBI Grade B exams: Polity
The Odisha government has launched a 44-day statewide campaign, ‘Shishu Shram Mukta Gram Panchayat’, to eradicate child labour in all gram panchayats, aligning with its commitment to uphold children’s fundamental right to education. Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi emphasized that child labour is a social evil and called for collective action to build a ‘Samruddha Odisha’ (Prosperous Odisha), where every child can pursue dreams without exploitation. The initiative, coinciding with Gandhi Jayanti, aims to create awareness and mobilize communities, reflecting the state’s focus on social welfare and human capital development.
For banking and SSC aspirants, this initiative highlights the intersection of governance, social justice, and economic development—key themes in exams like RBI Grade B and UPSC. Questions may test understanding of child labour laws (e.g., Article 24 of the Indian Constitution), government welfare schemes (e.g., MGNREGA’s role in reducing child labour), or Odisha’s socio-economic policies. RBI Grade B candidates may link human capital investment to financial inclusion and economic growth, while SSC aspirants could face direct questions on constitutional provisions or recent government schemes. The campaign also underscores the importance of grassroots governance (gram panchayats) in policy implementation, a recurring topic in polity sections.
