Description
District Principal and Sessions Judge V. Shreeshanand said that child labour which was still present in society could be abolished, only if the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act (1986) was implemented both in letter and in spirit. Inaugurating a training programme for child labour inspectors appointed as per Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act (1986) at Alur Venkatrao Bhavan on Friday, Mr. Shreeshanand said the government had appointed officials from 19 government departments as child labour inspectors. Children below 14 years of age should be compulsorily sent to school, he said. The judge expressed concern over some citing reasons of poverty for sending their children to work. There is no provision in law for such acts, he said. The government has provided free education, textbooks, accommodation, meals and bicycles to the children and hence, it is the duty of the parents to send their wards to school, he reiterated, and asked the officials to educate the public on schemes launched by the respective governments to shape the children’s careers.
