Right to Education Under the Indian Constitution
Mannava Muni Hemachand
Abstract :
In the present century there is an unprecedented demand for education. Education is the basic need of a person along with food cloth and shelter. The constitution makers were aware of Right to Education as the basic need and therefore incorporated the Right as one of the Directive Principles. Right to education is Concomitant to the fundamental rights because those rights cannot be fully enjoyed unless a citizen is educated and well aware of the rights enshrined in the constitution. The Supreme Court in Unnikrishnan Vs state of Andhra Pradesh ruled that the Right to Education is a Fundamental right that flows from the Right to life in Article 21 of the constitution. The 86th Constitution Amendment Act–2002 added Article 21–A Right to Education and modified Article–45. Right to Education is a compelling right, it cannot be allowed to melt into paleness.
