Abstract
The Right to Education (RTE) in India, established under Article 21-A of the Constitution after the 86th Amendment, ensures that children aged 6 to 14 receive free and compulsory education. This paper examines the development of RTE from its origins in the Directive Principles of State Policy to its implementation through the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. It reviews the legal framework, the involvement of central and state governments, key implementing bodies, and community mechanisms like School Management Committees. Despite considerable progress, issues such as inadequate infrastructure, teacher absenteeism, technology gaps, and the exclusion of marginalized groups continue to exist. Case studies from Delhi and Kerala showcase effective models, while states like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh illustrate ongoing difficulties.
