You have rightly stated that the principle of this Bill has been unanimously accepted by the House and most of the relevant points have been made out and that no time of the House should be taken by repeating the same points again and again. One of the points on which I want to lay stress and which is being disputed again and again by the Treasury Benches is the question of cottage industries. Though you pointed out to them yesterday that there is provision in this Bill to take into consideration the cottage industries also and the hon. The Deputy Minister realized it, again there was a point raised by Mr. Sidhva today and the hon. Speaker who was in the Chair at the time said that the scope of the Bill is confined only to the consideration of protection to industries as against foreign industries, i.e, to give protection to the indigenous industries as against imported goods and the question of cottage industry does not come in here. The hon. Deputy Minister dittoed this. Unless protection is given to indigenous industries, we shall not be able to develop industrially. I whole heartedly support this proposition. I am not against it. When I speak of cottage industries I do not for a moment think that our country should not be developed on the same lines as the other countries in the world. I want that every villager should have the same amenities that we sitting in this House have. Every villager should have these furniture, fittings, houses and so on. The only thing is that the existing economy should not be disturbed and sacrificed before substitute arrangement is made. Before we give protection to any bigger industries the first thing we should consider is that the materials which are at present being produced in our villages to meet the requirements of our villages and on which the economic life of the villagers rest are properly safeguarded. We should see that we have sufficient quantity of consumer goods to meet the necessities of all people in the country, and nothing is done merely in the interest of 10 percent of the people at the sacrifice of existing village economy, before making sure of some better substitute. I find that at the present moment our attention is confined to the amenities and requirements of a portion of the population only. The situation now is that the institution is in the hands of an official receiver. He has done good work, but obviously at the present moment because he is only an honorary person looking after the institution, he cannot give much time and the institution had not been doing the work for which it was established several years back. Various efforts have been made to bring about some kind of a settlement, but all these efforts have failed. Ultimately the Uttar Pradesh Government had to intervene and pass the Act of 2006. This Act was also in the nature of an interim measure. But the Act of the U.P. Government was challenged in the High Court at Allahabad and it was declared ultra vires, mainly on the ground that it created a corporation with objects! Not confined to one State and the Court said that legislation could he passed only by parliament. We have been receiving various representations from people who are interested in the welfare of this institution and the promotion of Hindi and Government have, therefore, thought it proper to declare this institution as an institution of national importance, and to rescue the institution which has unfortunately fallen into evil days. This is the main purpose for which this Bill has been brought forward. The special features of this Bill are these. We are proposing to appoint a Governing Body which will consist of a Chairman, a Secretary and thirteen other members, also to be appointed by the Central Government. But this will only be an interim measure. This Bill empowers the Governing Body to make, with the approval of the Central Government, the rules of the Sammelan. It will also set up a properly constituted Government body which will take charge of the institution in course of time. The House will note that in clause 12 of the Bill the Governing body has been empowered to make, with the approval of the Central Government, rules of the Sammelan in respect of matters relating to membership, including the qualifications and disqualifications for membership of the Sammelan the powers and functions of the Governing body the conduct of election for the constitution of the Governing body and the decisions on doubt and disputes at or in connection with these elections. It is also proposed that the accounts of this institution should be audited by a chartered accountant. The Government of India have a certain responsibility in the promotion of Hindi and the House is aware that the Government have taken various measures to promote Hindi throughout the country during the last several years. Rural areas as well as in the urban areas, there is not only unemployment but there is also under employment on a very large scale which is one of the main causes of our poverty. And if the plan succeeds in enlarging these opportunities of employment, it will have attained a very great object. Then, Sir, another object and the principle is to promote enterprise among the different classes. Now, Sir, the whole nation is not just on one level, as it is in the case of France, Germany or England. We are if I may say so a sort of multi-national people. All sorts of communities are there. We have got the backward areas we have got the Scheduled Tribes and we have got the Schedule Castes. And certain communities have got an advantage over other communities, maybe for any reason, or maybe due to the British period. There is for instance, the Parsi community or the Marwari community, whereas there are large sections of the people who have got no hand in the industries at all who merely live on agriculture, and are therefore on a very poor level.
