The right to education occupies a central place in human right law and is of key importance for the exercise of all other human rights. No civil, political, economic and social right can be exercised by individuals without basic education. It promotes individual freedom and empowerment and yields important developmental benefits. Keeping this thing in view Government of India has conferred Right to Education to every child in the age group of 6–14 years. The right to education includes responsibility to provide basic education for individuals who have not completed primary education. In addition to these access to education provisions, the right to education encompasses the obligation to rule out discrimination at all levels of the education system, to ensure minimum standards and to improve quality of education. This research paper gives a glimpse of governmental efforts in this direction and encircles problematic areas regarding implementation and gives some practical suggestions regarding its successful implementation.
