Education to become Fundamental Right in India
It is heartening to notice that education would be to turn into a Fundamental Right in India for the kids between the age group of 6 and 14 surviving in India. Recently the Indian cabinet took a unanimous decision compared to that effect. website will have far reaching consequences in the Indian society.

Hitherto education has been in the category of Directive Principles of State Policy and something of the welfare measures to be studied by the Indian Government to achieve the Welfare State Ideal. However, it was not just a right but only a perfect to be achieved. Hence, a kid who has no chance for education cannot claim it as a matter of right in a court of law. Quite simply, 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 / she has no opportunity for education.

Any child who is born in India by virtue of its birth becomes the citizen of India. By learning to be a citizen of India,now the child is automatically entitled to benefit from the 'Fundamental Right of Education'. A kid, who is in this group of between 6 and 14 and who does not have any opportunity for education, is now able to get her or his grievances redressed by way of a court of law, because education as a simple 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 Fundamental Right for children between the age group 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 thousands of girl children may also have a check and something can hope progressively more number of rural girl children could have a chance for education. Similarly dropouts from school by the rural children in the above generation, on social and economical grounds will also considerably or significantly get reduced and even wiped out.

When education becomes a Fundamental 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 proper direction, in the proper moment. Kudos to Indian Government!
