The act provides for the appointment of inspectors for the purpose of securing compliance with the provisions of the Act. There is similar provision in many other Acts. While more and more provisions are being made for appointment of inspectors in various laws, necessary measures have not been taken to ensure that those provisions are operated upon effectively. Firstly, while more and more work load is being added to the inspectors there has been no corresponding augmentation in their strength. Secondly, they lack the required training or motivation, and thirdly, they do not have the required facilities. Few Governments have been able to make adequate provision of funds for their pay and allowances, especially T.A., so that although inspectors are in a position they are not able to move out for inspection for dearth of funds.

The government “took a long backward step” when it repealed the law that brought relief to oppressed children (line 40).

These long hours do not permit time for receiving an education, spending time with their families, or getting to play as children should. Also, the woman includes in her testimony that the children were thronged while they worked, which means that, if the children did not perform as demanded, they were treated harshly. These children were expected to do copious amounts of work, equal to what an adult was capable of doing, while receiving much less pay and much more chastisement if they did not perform as well as expected.
