The Right to Education is granted under Article 21A of the Indian Constitution. This article was added through the 86th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2002, and it made education a fundamental right. Article 21A mandates the State to provide free and compulsory education to all children aged 6 to 14 years in a manner determined by law.
