The much promised national policy has three major components: selective ban on the morally, indefensible and socially reprehensible practice of child labour, prevention of exploitation of child workers in permitted areas of activity and rehabilitation of those pulled out of prohibited employment.

The 1966 Act has been dubbed as a law that legitimises child labour and the target of attack particularly has been the proviso which in effect says that a child can work if it is part of family labour. This has rendered existing enactments in this field totally ineffective.
The rehabilitation segment of the policy is much too weak to make any impact. In the first phase, about 30,000 child workers are to be freed from the prohibited areas of employment and given education, health and vocational training. If the overseeing of rules and regulations intended to end exploitation – as for instance , higher minimum wages,  non-oppressive work schedule and facilities for rest and recreation – is a question of gearing up the watchdog machinery, social activist groups and voluntary welfare agencies should be given a significant supportive role.

Ending exploitation of the working child involves

You are a regional manager of a company engaged in manufacturing of plastic products. The region under your supervision has the maximum number of production units. You have received a complaint from a section of workers of one unit alleging that the unit-head indulges in corruption and favouritism. That particular unit has the highest production in the region. The company headquarters wants you to take quick action as dissatisfaction amongst workers, if allowed to spread, could take the shape of a strike. Which course of action would you adopt?

As a District Collector you receive a complaint regarding embezzlement and other malpractices in the ‘Food for Work’ programme running in your district. It is alleged that a cartel of contractors who are close to the ruling party are in control of the entire programme. They are either not distributing the food grains or distributing lesser quantities of food grain while taking receipts from workers and raising the bill for the full amount. Your subordinate officials feel that the complaint is politically motivated as elections are due in the State in the next six months and the people in question enjoy immense political patronage. They suggest that to buy time the complaint be forwarded to the Commissioner and his directions be sought. What would you consider the best course of action?

You are heading the team supervising the commissioning of an important manufacturing unit of an MNC. The commissioning has got delayed resulting in financial losses to the MNC. Your headquarters have issued directions to expedite the commissioning. They have not agreed to your earlier suggestion of sanctioning of additional funds and have redrawn the time line for completion of the work. A report received from your subordinate regarding progress shows that the completion of pending work is likely to take more time than the redrawn time line. You are of a different view from your subordinate. You feel that if additional funds are allotted then the unit can still be completed as per the new time line set. You would have liked your subordinate to include this point in his report but his report is silent on this issue and he has expressed unwillingness to modify his report. In such a situation you would

You are a new employee at a manufacturing unit of an MNC. You have got this job with great difficulty as nearly 50 candidates had appeared for the job interview. You find that some of the manufacturing processes in the unit are in gross violation of environmental norms and cause severe ground water depletion. If the company does not adopt such measures, then its manufacturing cost would go up and the unit might have to be shut down. You would

You are a government servant living in a government house. You have made several complaints to the government civic agency (CPWD, which is entrusted with maintenance of the house) for carrying out certain urgent civil repairs. The agency has failed to do so. Meanwhile a private civil contractor who does odd jobs at your office has offered to do the repairs. He would inflate the bills of office work in lieu of that. You would

You are an administrative authority who has received a petition from a poor worker, who has been thrown out of job and also not paid his full month’s pay. He was offered only half month’s pay which he refused to accept. He seeks your intervention in getting justice as he has been threatened by his employer, who is a contractor and an influential man in that area. What course of action would you adopt?
