Detailed Solution

Both statements (A) and (R) are true.
The Child Labor (Prohibition and Regulation) Act of 1986 forbids child labour in some professions and controls child labour conditions in others (including permitted working hours, rest, and holidays). The Act establishes guidelines for those who hire children as well as sanctions for hiring them in violation of the law. The Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Amendment Act, 2016 amended this Act to define a child as a person under the age of 14.
Statement (R) is the correct explanation of the assertion
The amendment forbids the employment of children ages 6 to 14 in any occupation or process, and it creates the category of ‘adolescents’ (those between the ages of 14 and 18), who are forbidden from working in hazardous occupations and processes as defined by the Factories Act, 1948.
