Abstract
Education develops human personality and the sense of its dignity. The
Constitution 86th Amendment Act, 2002 inserted Article 21-A in the
Constitution of India to provide free and compulsory education of all children
in the age group of six to fourteen years as a Fundamental Right in such a
manner as the State may, by law, determine. The Right of Children to Free and
Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, which represents the consequential
legislation envisaged under Article 21-A, means that every child has a right to
full time elementary education of satisfactory and equitable quality in a
formal school which satisfies certain essential norms and standards. "the
ultimate aim of education in ancient India was not knowledge, as preparation
for life in this world or life beyond, but for complete realization of the
self, because education is not preparation for life but education is life in
itself " RTE Act 2009 is very important for the promotion and protection
of Right to education in India, because today education and Right to Education
is the need of the hour.
