CWC opposes cut on honorarium amid increased workload
February 05, 2025
|The New Indian Express Vellore
CHILD Welfare Committee (CWC) members, handling cases in more than one district, are now forced to shoulder additional expenses as the Directorate of Child Welfare and Special Services imposed restrictions on claiming honorarium for the additional work.
With at least 10 districts in Tamil Nadu functioning without the CWC, its members are holding sessions in more than one district to share the case burden, which requires frequent travel.
In a recent circular, citing the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, the directorate said the CWCs are typically convened for 20 days a month and the members and chairpersons are not entitled to receive honorarium for the remaining 10 days, even if they held additional charges in another district.
