The Commission has noticed with regret that, in almost all the States, the Vigilance
9.6
Committees that were established earlier are non-functional and that no serious effect has
been taken to identfty bonded labour even though the existence of such labour In as many as
100 districts and in specified industries has been well documented by various studies. The
Commission calls upon all the State Governments to bring fwsh energy to this serious matter
and to vigorously implemgnt the provisions of the Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act.
