Efforts and laws to combat child labour in India have been in place, with visible improvements in the last decade but a considerable way to go. Several factors complicate measurement of progress, as follows:

1. **Legislative Measures**: The Child Labour Act has undergone amendments to further tighten the legal framework of India against child labor. This involves enhanced penalties for offenders and more comprehensive rehabilitation of rescued children.

2. **Government Initiatives**: Many government initiatives, like the National Child Labour Project, aim at the withdrawal of children from hazardous employment and their enrollment in education and vocational training.

3. **Awareness and Advocacy**: More riveting awareness campaigns by NGOs, international organizations, and even governmental organizations have thrown considerable light on this issue and brought into being much more pronounced public and political will for action against child labor.

4. **Economic Factors**: The socio-economic factors are equally important. Yet, poverty remains one of the primary reasons as shattered families are forced to rely on the income of children for survival.

5. **Challenges in Enforcement**: Stringent legal provisions are there but very hard to implement in the face of the massive informal sector coupled with issues relating to identification and rescue of child labor.

Though the scenario has shown glimpses of positive transformation, still someway, it remains enormously complex and undergoes regional and sectoral variations. There is a need to sustain such efforts in both enforcement and socioeconomic development to realize permanent change in the abolition of child labor in India.
