No Child Labor - Thanks Jaipur Rugs...

"Service to the community" is Jaipur Rugs Company's motto.

Child labor is a common issue with the Indian Carpet and Rug Industry. Historically, children in India have worked in the carpet factories with their own families as a way of getting to know the family apprenticeship. However, under the increased export pressure since the mid 1970s, child labor in the industry increased rapidly. The increase in demand of carpets from international markets led to recruitment of poor children in the trade. Even today, children continue to work the looms, but behind closed and guarded doors. Child labor is facts of life say both factory-owners and parents of the children working here.

However, since its inception 10 years back, Jaipur Rugs Company has always produced some of the best carpets and rugs using skilled weavers, without involving children. We know that all weavers can not provide formal type of education to their children as there are not enough resources to provide schooling, as a result of which most parents make their children to help them work in factories or have odd jobs. We strictly discourage this. We have taken several measures for the overall upliftment of the weavers and their families, which include even children education. We always favor compulsory basic education for all children as without education the children are bound to do something or the other which is not beneficial to them.

The company very well understands the importance of child education in society. Every weaver working with us is considered a family member and hence his growth is important for us. We encourage our weavers to give their children proper education. For this we provide them with all the necessary facilities. With provisions of regular work, better pay, proper working condition, health care etc., we have never given any chance to our weavers to complain or feel dissatisfied in their work. We make them self sufficient in such a way that they can afford a qualitative standard of living, can easily take care of their families and provide basic education to the children. We also allow womenfolk to work in our looms so that they can also support the family. All kinds of trainings are provided to our weavers so that they can enhance their skills and thus earn more money thereby providing their kids education and preventing child labor.

The Jaipur Rugs also have own non profit social organization, Jaipur Rugs Foundation, to take proper care of the children and weavers. We make it a point that all weavers working with us must have their kids have basic education. Education is very important, and no children should be deprived of it.
