It will be an offence to employ such children not only in factories or industries but also in homes or on farms, if their labour is meant to serve any commercial interest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Ministry of Labour is likely to introduce the amendment bill in Parliament soon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Quoting the National Sample Survey Organisation\u2019s figures, official sources said the amendment would benefit 46 lakh children, who have been working in various industries now, and they can concentrate on education.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Cabinet also approved another amendment to define children aged 14-18 as \u201cadolescents\u201d and prohibit their employment in mines, explosives industries, chemical and paint industries and other hazardous establishments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The government\u2019s decision is in line with the convention of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), which prohibits any form of child labour until the age of 14.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act or RTE now stipulates compulsory and free education of children up to the age of 14, the upper age limit in the Child Labour Act has been kept at 14.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The RTE, which makes education fundamental right of a child, was passed by Parliament on August 4, 2009.
