Indian Government policies on Child Labor in India
India's policy on child labour has evolved over the years against this backdrop. The present regime of laws relating to Child Labor in India have a pragmatic foundation and are consistent with the International Labour Conference resolution of 1979.
Child Labor in India
Poor children in India begin working at a very young and tender age. Many children have to work to help their families and some families expect their children to continue the family business at a young age.
India has all along followed a proactive policy in the matter of tackling the problem of child labour. India has always stood for constitutional, statutory and developmental measures that are required to eliminate child laborr in India. Indian Constitution consciously incorporated relevant provisions in the Constitution to secure compulsory universal elementary education as well as labor protection for children.
Though most children begin working at a young age due to economic reasons, doing so allows them to break from some social constraints.

Mountain Bicycling
Mountain Bicycling
Experience India on two wheels. Go cycling and feel the wind touch your cheeks even as it lifts your spirits. Cycle through lanes, by lanes, forests, parks, mountains etc and experience the beauty of nature around you. Inhale the fresh air and feel rejuvenated once again. Cycling on the mountain can be little tedious as the terrain is rugged and going uphill can be quite an effort.

River Rafting In India
River Rafting is a popular sport on the Himalayan rivers. The most popular stretch for this sport is on the River Ganga near Rishikesh. This sport can be enjoyed by anyone of any age. It gives immense thrill to ride down on an inflatable rubber boat and hit against the rapidly flowing water waves which gush down the mighty Himalayas, brings the adrenaline pumping through your blood stream. The upper portions in the Himalayas are a white water rafting paradise. The challenge here is more intense. A trained professional accompanies the raft, and everyone is provided with life jackets and helmet for safety.If you are an amateur,you can try the medium intensity rapids at Hathni Kund on the mighty Yamuna river.
Adventure Tourism In India
India is a diverse country with four different seasons - winter, summer spring and autum. Likewise it has mountains and plains, deserts and beaches. Thus one can experience trekking in the great Himalayas with the snow covered mountains on the backdrop or visit the more warmer parts of Rajasthan for a desert trek, another good option would be the Western Ghats and the Nilgiris.
Trekking is different from mountaineering, as it does not require any special skills and equipments to do the same. Besides, trekking always refers to walking on trails. Trekking in India has become very popular and people from all over the world come to experience this adventure sport. Though it is a strenuous activity but it is the best way to get close to mother nature and know the people, culture and tradition of that land. Life in the interiors is very different from the usual life in India in general. Any trek you take is different from the other and has a character of its own.

Village Life
Medieval villages consisted of a population comprised of mostly of farmers. Houses, barns sheds, and animal pens clustered around the center of the village, which was surrounded by plowed fields and pastures. Medieval society depended on the village for protection and a majority of people during these centuries called a village home. Most were born, toiled, married, had children and later died within the village, rarely venturing beyond its boundaries.
Common enterprise was the key to a village's survival. Some villages were temporary, and the society would move on if the land proved infertile or weather made life too difficult. Other villages continued to exist for centuries. Every village had a lord, even if he didn't make it his permanent residence, and after the 1100's castles often dominated the village landscape. Medieval Europeans may have been unclear of their country's boundaries, but they knew every stone, tree, road and stream of their village. Neighboring villages would parley to set boundaries that would be set out in village charters.
Medieval peasants were either classified as free men or as "villeins," those who owed heavy labor service to a lord, were bound to the land, and subject to feudal dues. Village life was busy for both classes, and for women as well as men. Much of this harsh life was lived outdoors, wearing simple dress and subsisting on a meager diet.
