Best answer

In this cartoon, some children are waiting for their school bus. They are accompanied by their mothers. A child is seen carrying a heavy schoolbag on his back. One of the ladies says that she has hired that child to carry her son’s schoolbag. This cartoon is trying to convey two important issues. One of the issues is the heavy load of schoolbags on today’s children. Another message is about the problem of child labour. Thus, this cartoon relates to the Child Labour Prevention Act, 2006.
