V. PROTECTION AND WELFARE OF CHILD LABOUR IN ORISSA : HIGHLIGHTS
Abolition of child labour is included in the common minimum programme of Government. The Supreme Court in their judgement dated 10th December’1996 passed several directions on elimination and prevention of child labour. The main directions were (1) to conduct survey on child labour, (2) to release child labour engaged in hazardous occupations, (3) to realise Rs. 20,000/- as fine from the employers engaging child labour in hazardous work, (4) to file prosecution against the employer for employing child labour in hazardous occupations and process, (5) to provide assured employment to an adult member of the family of the child labour and where it is not possible to provide such employment, the State Government should deposit a sum of Rs. 5,000/- in that behalf in the Child Labour Welfare Fund of the district, (6) to provide two hours education to the child labour at the cost of the employer in case of non-hazardous occupations.
According to the child labour survey conducted in the year 1997, 2.15 lakh child labour were identified in the State, out of which, 23,761 child labour were engaged in hazardous occupations and 1,91,461 child labour were engaged in non-hazardous occupations.
In the meantime, 9,664 show cause notices have been issued for recovery of Rs.20,000/- per child from each child labour in hazardous occupation. In 12 cases the erring employer contested their liabilities out of which 2 cases have resulted in conviction, 9 cases in acquittal and remaining one case is still sub-judice before the Hon’ble Orissa High Court.
So far, 21,137 nos. of Child Labour (including the child labour who had already been disengaged at the time of survey in 1997) have been admitted to (1) Non formal Schools, (2) Formal School and (3) NCLP Schools in 30 Districts of Orissa.
Till now, 7,820 nos. of families of concerned children have been covered under different poverty amelioration programmes implemented in different districts.
The District Collectors / Field functionaries of Labour & Employment Department have been instructed to ensure that the employers of the establishments provide education to the child labour at least two hours a day and to ensure that working hours for Child Labour are regulated from 4 to 6 hours per day.
he District Child Labour Welfare-cum-Rehabilitation Society and the District Child Labour Welfare Fund, have been constituted in all 30 districts. Collection of Rs. 20,000/- as penalty from the employer in case of hazardous occupations has been slow and only Rs. 1.20 lakhs has been collected in Jagatsinghpur and Rayagada Districts covering six cases.
NATIONAL CHILD LABOUR PROJECTS (NCLP)
The National Child Labour Project is one of the agenda of the National Policy on Child Labour, whereby children identified and released from hazardous occupations and processes would be rehabilitated and mainstreamed to formal education system.
At present 18 NCLPs are running in the State of Orissa in Angul, Bargarh, Bolangir, Balasore, Cuttack, Deogarh, Ganjam, Gajapati, Jharsuguda, Kalahandi, Koraput, Malkangiri, Mayurbhanja (Rairangpur), Nabrangpur, Nuapada, Rayagada, Sambalpur and Sonepur District.
