world”.
This is a very famous
quote of John Amos Comenius, who is considered as a father of education. It is
a fact that, peace can’t be established unless certain rights are not
guaranteed to all of its citizen and definitely education is one of the most
powerful tools, as this is the foundation of good citizenship and most vital
ingredient for the development of human resources.

Undoubtedly, a child of today is a leader of
tomorrow and the real wealth of a nation is not so much in it’s of natural
resources like metals, minerals and oils etc; but it lies more absolutely in
the kind and quality of its children. It is they who are the shapers of a
nation’s tomorrow. But, it is our responsibility today, to shape the future of
our children, who are most precious, valuable, and fragile resource for the
future. We believe that, as a future
leader every child has the right to be encouraged and nurtured emotionally,
intellectually, and spiritually. Their physical needs must be adequately met,
including nutrition, housing, and medical care. There are several basic rights that a child
deserves to get, but here we are going to discuss the right of education
only. As we know that proper education
is the basic ingredient to produce a good citizen and it is also a fact that,
receiving a good education is every child’s basic right. It is education that
provides competence and empowers children to be self-sufficient. Needless to
say that education plays vital role in the human capital formation.

responsible for providing the school education to all school-age children. By
the Constitutional Amendment of 1976 education was included in the Concurrent
List, which means that both the Centre and the State have jurisdiction over
making legislative provisions on the subject and in 2002 the Constitution was
Amended to include the Article 21A in the Indian constitution, which
declares Education a fundamental Right.
Now education is a fundamental right and its enforcement would provide us a
unique opportunity to build up a mission encompassing all the discourses to
fulfill our goal of universal elementary education. The right to education goes
further than free and compulsory education to incorporate quality education for all.
This 86th
amendment of the constitution of India, however, necessitated for a legislation
to explain the mode of implementation of the fundamental right of education.
Hence, the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009 came
into existence, which was implemented on 1st April, 2010 and it is
popularly known as right to education or RTE and it is legally enforceable duty
of the government to provide free and compulsory education in a neighborhood
school.
