do not go to schools for the simple reason that their parents are not in a position to send them to schools due to poor financial conditions or they are greedy to such an extent that they send their children for employment to supplement the income of the family as a result, majority of the children remain illiterate children are employed as full time domestic servants in many households and they do not get paid for the work they perform the children toil for long hours for very meagre wages the conditions at the work place are inhuman and not worth mentioning the employers do not care for health safety and other amenities which are necessarily to be provided to the children under the law though the constitution of india explicitly prohibits the employment of children in hazardous industries, millions of children are employed in many factories which could pose danger to their health children are also sexually exploited, they are sold to rich men in foreign countries cases of sexual abuse of children are reported almost everyday the education policy of the country is such that it often tequires review so as to cater to the needs of modern times and technological advancement in various spheres the education policy is out-dated and requires thorough change even after 53 years of independence, the children never received their due attention it would be in the fitness of things, if their problems are addressed by the nation urgently and with a positive approach it would be appropriate if we set up a national commission for children to address the problems of the children and to take ttemedial action the bill seeks to achieve the above objective, new deui; v saroja november 22, 2000 financial memorandumclause 3 of the bill provides for setting up of a

expenses to be met by the commission on various items referred to in those clauses from out of the sums of grants paid to the commission under clause }1(1) 2 the bill, if enacted, will involve expenditure from the consolidated fund of india at present, it is not possible to give the exact which will be incurred out of the consolidated fund of india to carry out the provisions of the bill however, a recurring expenditure of the amount of rupees one hundred crore per annum is likely to be involved out of the consolidated fund of india a non-recurring expenditure of about rupees fifty crore is also likely to be involved memorandum regarding delegated legislationclause 17 of the bill empowers the central government to make rules to carry out the provisions of the bill such rules may provide for matters, such as— (a) the manner of preparation of the panel of eminent persons under sub-section (2) of section 3; (b) salaries and allowances payable to, and the other terms and conditions of service of the chairperson and members under sub-section (4) of section 4 and officers and other employees under sub-section (2) of section 5; (c) the form in which the annual statement

required to be, or may be, prescribed 2 the matters in respect of which rules may be made are matters of procedural and administrative detail and it is not practicable to provide for them under the bill itself the delegation of the legislative powers is, therefore, of a normal character
