Vision: Calls for strong laws on child trafficking
Satyarthi feels that India doesn’t have strong laws on child trafficking. During one of his interviews to leading media house, he had said, “We have a law on immoral trafficking and that is basically for adult trafficking for commercial sexual exploitation. Therefore, it is important for the government to form some tough laws to tackle this menace.”

After receiving the award, he had said, "I am really honoured but if the prize had gone to Mahatma Gandhi before me I would have been more honoured"
