In 1993, the Supreme Court’s landmark judgment in the Unnikrishnan JP vs State of Andhra Pradesh & Others held that Education is a fundamental right flowing from Article 21.
Tapas Majumdar Committee (1999) was set up, which encompassed the insertion of Article 21A.
The 86th amendment to the constitution of India in 2002, provided the Right to Education as a fundamental right in Part III of the Constitution.
The same amendment inserted Article 21A which made the Right to Education a fundamental right for children between 6-14 years.
Amendment of article 51A - In article 51A of the Constitution, after clause (J), the following clause shall be added, namely:-
(k) who is a parent or guardian to provide opportunities for education to his child or, as the case may be, ward between the age of six and fourteen years.
