Which of the following falls under the 'Right to Freedom' as per the Constitution of India?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Right to education.
This article, inserted by the 86th Constitutional Amendment Act of 2002, declares that "The State shall provide free and compulsory education to all children of the age of six to fourteen years in such manner as the State may, by law, determine." While traditionally Article 21 (Protection of life and personal liberty) has been interpreted broadly to include various facets of a dignified life, Article 21A explicitly makes education a fundamental right for this age group, thereby placing it firmly within the ambit of fundamental freedoms.
