B. Article 21A
C. Article 28 A
D. None of these

Answer 1

Hint: The Constitution of India is the supreme law of India. The document stipulates the framework for dividing the basic political regulations, structures, procedures, powers, and responsibilities of government agencies, as well as basic rights, indicative principles, and responsibilities of citizens.

Complete step by step answer:
Right to education (Article 21A): The Supreme Court held that “unless they enjoy the right to education, their right to life and dignity cannot be guaranteed”. The right to education is also considered part of Article 21, and by 86th Amendment Act, 2002, a new Article 21-A was added after Article 21. Therefore, the right to education has become a basic right and has been removed from the list of national policy guidelines. Article 21 of the Indian Constitution: Accordingly, the state offers all children between the ages of six and fourteen years of free and compulsory education in a manner that can be determined by the state by law. Therefore, the Government of India passed the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009. A series of decisions including Mohini Jain v. Karnataka State (1992), Unnikrishnan v. AP State (1993), etc. finally transformed the non-compulsory education right in the National Policy Guidelines into a fundamental right of enforcement is included in Article 21-A.
So, the correct answer is Option B.

Note: Right to equality (Articles. 14-18), Right to Freedom (Articles. 19-22), Right Against Exploitation (Articles. 23-24), Right to Freedom of Religion (Articles. 25-28), Cultural and Educational Rights (Articles. 29-30) and Right to Constitutional Remedies (Articles. 32).
