It is heartening to note that education would be to turn into a Fundamental Right in India for the kids between the generation of 6 and 14 living in India. Recently the Indian cabinet took a unanimous decision compared to that effect. The decision will have significant consequences in the Indian society.Hitherto education has been around the group of Directive Principles of State Policy and something of the welfare measures to be studied by the Indian Government to attain the Welfare State Ideal. However, it was not a right but only a perfect to be achieved. Hence, a child who has no chance for education cannot claim it as a matter of right in a court of law. Basically, by the inclusion of education as the directive principles of state policy, it had been not justiciable, this means a child cannot go to court pleading that he or she has no opportunity for education.Any child who's born in India by virtue of its birth becomes the citizen of India. By learning to be a citizen of India,now the kid is automatically eligible for enjoy the 'Fundamental Right of Education'. A child, who is in this band of between 6 and 14 and who has no opportunity for education, is now able to get his / her grievances redressed by way of a court of law, because education as a Fundamental Right becomes justiciable.By virtue of making education as a Fundamental Right, it creates another direct impact on the existing social malady called 'the Child Labor' While enforcing education as a simple Right for children between your generation of 6 and 14, the kid labor will naturally and gradually have its demise.Further the gender bias that prevails in the rural India, robbing educational opportunities to a large number of girl children will also have a check and something can hope increasingly more number of rural girl children could have an opportunity for education. Similarly dropouts from school by the rural children in the above age group, on social and economical grounds will also considerably or significantly get reduced as well as wiped out.When education becomes a simple Right, both the Central and State Governments will allocate more funds to implement education as a Fundamental Right, besides establishing more schools and recruiting more teachers to educate children between the age group of 6 and 14.Using its newly found status as an evergrowing world power, the Indian Government has had a right step, in the right direction, in the proper moment. Kudos to Indian Government!1.The Hindu (daily)2.Deccan Chronicle (Daily)
