Education is a basic need of man along with food, cloth and shelter. Education is the source of development of a man and it is the source of many rights without which many other objectives can not be achieved and for the success of democratic system of government, education is one of the essential element. An educated citizen has to choose the representatives who form the government. Education gives a person human dignity who develops himself as well as contributes to the development of his country. More over education is a basic human right. In India many people were excluded from their right to education for very many years even after the Independence. The Supreme Court, in 1993 in the case of Unnikrishnan, ruled that the right to education would be restricted by the economic capacity of the state only beyond age 14, the government ignored it.
