CQ- Mandatory approval for child artist to work in audio-visual shows

The ministry of labour and employment is planning to introduce a legal clause to make such clearance mandatory for children engaged in any form of audio or visual entertainment, which covers advertisements, films, television serials and sports among others. 
According to report Labour Ministry has requested the legislative department to draft an appropriately worded clause to permit children to be engaged for performance in any form of audio or visual entertainment after obtaining written permission, the conditions for which can be prescribed in the rules or regulations of the Child Labour Act  
Ministry feels that there is a need for regulation as the involvement of children, including adolescents, in the entertainment industry has risen exponentially and there have been several instances in which they've been unable to cope with the physical and mental trauma associated with the rigorous routine. The ministry will draw up the detailed process for obtaining permission once the proposal is vetted by all stakeholders.
