Health Check reports on those children at the extreme end of risk - child slaves.
India has around 10 million child labourers - more than any other country in the world.
Kailash Satyarthi, who heads the Global Campaign for Education, explains why child slaves are at such high risk from injury and accuses the Indian government of not doing enough to improve their situation.
