Despite this new finding, Rajesh Jatav has no early childhood memories other than child labour, which could indicate that it is something he was born into. “I don’t remember at what age I started working in bricklaying. But since childhood, I used to work with my whole family, including my three sisters and one elder brother,” he recalls.
This, he claims, continued until he was rescued in 2007 at the age of eight by the Kailaah Satyarthi Children’s Foundation, which was founded by the 2014 Noble Peace Laurette to combat child labour, and placed in the Bal Ashram Trust to begin his non-formal education before being admitted into formal education.
Rajesh Jatav cannot remember his early childhood outside of child labour. It was only when he was eight years old that he was rescued by the Kailaah Satyarthi Children’s Foundation and was put into the Bal Ashram Trust, and his changed for the better.
