Madhavi Tata
Ginning's Pennies
* An estimated 1,30,000 children work in Andhra Pradesh's cotton fields and ginning mills, most of them in Guntur district
* An average workday means 8-10 hours of back-breaking work
* Children, especially between the ages of 8 and 13, preferred because they're more energetic; their small, tender fingers are more nimble
* Their health seriously jeopardised from inhaling fibre and toxic pesticides used in the fields
