With economic development, the basic needs of mankind have been changing from “Roti (Food), Kapada (Garment) and Makkan (House)” to “education, Health care and Livelihood”. Out of the later, education, particularly at primary level has special significance.
Realising importance of primary education in making of a young Nation, “Provision of free and compulsory education to all children until they complete the age of fourteen years” was incorporated in Article 45 of the Constitution to be achieved within a period of ten years. Number of plans and programmes were launched for achieving this noble objective.
This issue was also subjected to judicial scrutiny. Subsequently Right to Education for children in the age group 6-14 years was made a fundamental right by inserting article 21A in the 86th amendment to the Constitution (2002). Later, a special legislation the Right to Free and Compulsory Education Act was enacted (2010).
Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) was launched (2001) for providing primary education to all children in the age group 6-14 years in country.
