Recognizing this, India enshrined the Right to Education as a fundamental right under Article 21A of the Constitution, introduced by the 86th Amendment in 2002. This transformative step marked a significant shift in the nation\u2019s approach to education, emphasizing its necessity for fostering equality, development, and social justice.
