For achieving the goal of UEE, a pupil teacher can play an important role because they are teacher of the future generation and success of any educational programme depends upon the teachers. Thus, the present paper is an attempt to know the awareness of pupil teachers regarding Right to Free and Compulsory Education Act (RTE)-2009.
