In the late 1970s, Laxman 'Master' toiled as a child labourer in a stone quarry in Faridabad. His bleak future took a miraculous turn when activist Kailash Satyarthi rescued him and many others from their harsh conditions.
Decades later, Laxman thrives as the treasurer of Bachpan Bachao Andolan, the organization founded by Satyarthi in 1980 to combat child labour. His three sons have achieved significant educational milestones, including his youngest son, Rahul Kumar, who recently passed his Chartered Accountant exam.
Satyarthi shared a heartwarming photo on X, expressing pride in Laxman's journey from bonded labourer to an accomplished father. Laxman's story epitomizes the transformative power of education and relentless activism.
