receiving distressing reports through non-Goverriment
organisations and media about children being exploited

servants. They are subjected to inhuman treatment and
long hours of duty. The Commission has condemned the
employment of children below the age of 14 years and
stressed the importance of providing them with adequate
schooling facilities during their formative years.

jeopardislng health and education of the child by nay
of taking away the potential for development of the
child by nipping 'the bud in the chilldhood. Keeping in
view the sensitivity involved and multiple deprivation
of the child being so employed, all Government servants
are requested to unsure that no child below the age of
14 years is empl.oyod by them for domestic work
