At least in the regional languages of the country the regional languages, recognised by the constitution and in English and in Hindi so that we try to see how far the candidates who offer themselves for oral examination come up to the requirements of the army test. Sir, I know that the cinematograph (amendment) bill, 2008 is only a further elaboration of the act of 2002 and what has already been laid down in the rules regarding the composition of the board of film censors and the constitution of advisory panels is sought to be brought into the principal act. Therefore, Sir, there is not much to be said on this amending bill, which is the result, as has been pointed out, of the experience gained in the working of the act for the past six years. Nevertheless, I would like the hon. Minister to consider the following two points for being suitably included in the amending bill, and I hope that this can be done. The first point is that there should be some carefully thought out criteria for the selection of the chairman and members of the censor board as well as of the advisory panels. The ministry may kindly say if any set of rules has already been laid down for fixing qualifications for such membership. I feel, Sir, that this is a very vital point to be considered, especially when we are considering the question of children's film. I am interested in children's films as an educationist, and therefore, I am very anxious that nothing that would be harmful to children should be released in cinema houses. I also feel that certain eminent persons in the field of education and culture and personalities commanding people's confidence should be requested to serve on such boards and panels, so that certain proper standards might be set up in the selection of films.
