Keeping in mind provision of the Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986, Karnataka government has decided to make it mandatory for producers to get prior permission from the local District Magistrate (Deputy Commissioner) for employing child artists.
Adequate facilities should be provided for continuous progress in education so that the child does not miss out on school lessons and lectures.
The Commissioner of the Labour Department has issued a circular to the Managing Director of Sree Kanteerava Studios Limited, Karnataka Chalanachitra Academy, Karnataka Media Academy, and Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC), and others.
