Statement — Over 27,000 bonded labourers identified and freed are still awaiting rehabilitation.\nCourses of Action:\nI. Identify more cases of bonded labour.\nII. Do not free bonded labourers until proper rehabilitation facilities are available.\nIII. Remove impediments to speedy and proper rehabilitation of bonded labourers.

Introduction / Context:
The core problem is inadequate rehabilitation after liberation. Effective action should unblock rehabilitation rather than pause rescues or divert effort.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• I: Identify more bonded labourers.
• II: Delay freedom until rehab exists.
• III: Remove barriers to speedy, proper rehabilitation.

Concept / Approach:
Human-rights imperatives require immediate release from bondage; withholding freedom (II) is unethical and unlawful. Identifying more cases (I) is important, but the statement’s bottleneck is rehabilitation; adding cases without fixing the pipeline worsens backlog. The decisive action is III—streamline procedures, funding, skill training, land/credit support, and documentation.

Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Map rehab workflow; find delays (verification, funds, land, IDs).2) Create single-window clearance and monitoring.3) Provide skill/placement support and social protection.

Verification / Alternative check:
Successful anti-bonded-labour programs emphasize swift, properly funded rehabilitation.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
I: adds load without fix. II: violates rights. D: wrongly includes II.

Common Pitfalls:
Confusing scale-up with effectiveness; throughput matters.

Final Answer:
Only III follows.
