#Nobel laurate #KailashSatyarthi dedicated prize to all the underprivileged children and also to all the Indians.

Kailash, 60, was on December 10 honoured with Nobel Peace Prize along with Malala Yousufzai for his struggle against repression of child rights.

In his acceptance speech, Kailash said that he earnestly believed that child labour can be eliminated within his lifetime. He also said how the world will never be free unless all children were freed from shackles of child labour, trafficking, etc.

“With a warm heart I recall how thousands of times, I have been liberated, each time I have freed a child from slavery,” Kailash said.

Having stressed on the significance to liberate children from quagmires of oppression and slavery, Kailash concluded his Nobel lecture with a call for “march from darkness to light”.

Ahead of receiving the Nobel, Kailash dedicated the Nobel Peace Prize to all the underprivileged children and also to all the Indians.

The Nobel laureate added that the award was the most special of all – 11 awards – he has received so far as it honours all those children who are suffering and mired in child labour or trafficking.

Kailash, who is the eighth Indian to have been awarded the Nobel, has been honoured for his more than three decades of selfless service towards upholding children’s rights.

Satyarthi’s “Bachpan Bachao Aandolan” has freed more than 80,000 children from the scourge of child labour, slavery and trafficking
