Child labor is a big challenge for us because upbringings of children require care and attention. They are future of our country. Scholars argued that banning child labor and their immediate withdrawal from the labor market at any cost would be sufficient to eradicate it, while opponents found pervasive effect of increasing it further. Therefore, ban on child labor is an important issue and to further the research it requires more investigations. In this study we conducted a survey of 327 households and obtained qualitative data through interview schedule with the local Anchal Prodhan, Police Officer, Head Master, Post Master, Officers, respectable persons of the locality to find out the justifications for its banning. Using simple statistical tools, we found that parents and children are in favor of combining work with study and they straight away rejected legislative ban on child labor for their survival and earning livelihood, thereby contributing to the answer of harsh question. The important implications of this study is for the policy makers to understand the issues of child labor, whether its ban would be right?
