Being a welfare state, we cannot afford to take risk in educating our citizen. India is home to 19% of the world’s children. India also has one-third of the world’s illiterate population, which is a worrisome trend. Each and every citizen of India has been mandated by our constitution to receive free & compulsory education up to elementary level without any discrimination. Apart from constitutional remedies, various other efforts have been made to champion the cause of ‘Education for All’. However, despite best of efforts, education for all could not become a reality. The Government of India (GoI), in its effort to provide education for all, took further serious and bold steps by way of making education a fundamental right (FR). This was possible by amendment of constitution in the light of Hon’ble Supreme Court judgement (1993) to make education as FR and making of right to education a FR (the 86th constitutional amendment). Despite best of possible efforts, we are yet to provide our population a compulsory education (in an inclusive and enabling setting). Condition of PWDs is indeed very pathetic on international parameters. There are many hindrances which sabotage the efforts of our government and in the future amendments, this need to be addressed. Present paper tries to trace the origin, feature, drawbacks, its effect and possible amendments.
