Even though the country tries to change its regulations to help the lives of these kids by fighting against child labor, the process is a bit slow. Therefore Akash had taken his own initiative to help them in possible ways. For him, it had not been easy to convince parents to let the kids go to school instead of work. But after trying, he had convinced them and had also compensated some families financially to manage themselves without the kids working.
