Provide DMs with a list of producers who obtained nods before hiring child artistes: NCPCR
District magistrates across states and union territories have been instructed to provide to the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) within seven days a report of all producers who have sought their permission before hiring child actors in audiovisual productions, including commercial events, on Tuesday.
In the letter signed by NCPCR Member Secretary Rupali Banerjee Singh, the commission said: “In accordance with Rule 2C(b) of the Amendment, any producer of any audio visual media production or any commercial event involving the participation of children shall only involve a child in participation after obtaining the permission of the District Magistrate of the district in which the activity will take place. Therefore, a producer must obtain permission from the District Magistrates before conducting production or shooting activities involving child actors. According to the mentioned provision, this prerequisite is mandatory and must be met before engaging child artistes for entertainment activities.”

Furthermore, the Commission requests your good offices to provide details on the number of permissions sought by producers over the period from 2017 to 2022 in accordance with the above mentioned provision. We would appreciate it if this information could be provided to the Commission within seven days.”
The Commission referred to the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Rules, 1988, which were enacted in 2017.
A producer of any audiovisual media production or commercial event involving children’s participation is required to obtain permission from the District Magistrate of the district where the activity will take place before engaging a child in participation. and shall furnish to the District Magistrate before starting the activity an undertaking in Form C and the list of child participants, consent of parents or guardian, as the case may be, name of the individual from the production or event who shall be responsible for the safety and security of the child.”
