Right to Education Suresh Mani Tripathi

Right of children to Free and Compulsory Education Act provides for free and compulsory education to all children of the age of six to fourteen years. The Right of children to Free and Compulsory Education Act came into force from April 1, 2010. This is was a historic day for the people of India as from this day the right to education will be accorded the same legal status as the right to life as provided by Article 21A of the Indian Constitution. Every child in the age group of 6-14 years will be provided 8 years of elementary education in an age appropriate classroom in the vicinity of his/her neighbourhood.
