Abstract: Education is a fundamental right and a key driver of social and economic development. In India, the Right to Education (RTE) Act, 2009, and the New Education Policy (NEP), 2020, serve as major legislative and policy frameworks aimed at ensuring accessible, equitable, and quality education for all. This dissertation critically examines the constitutional basis of the right to education, its evolution through judicial interpretation, and the impact of the RTE Act and NEP 2020 in shaping India’s education system. The study explores the transformation of education from a directive principle to an enforceable fundamental right under Article 21A. It analyzes key judicial pronouncements that have influenced education policy, such as Mohini Jain v. State of Karnataka and Unnikrishnan J.P. v. State of Andhra Pradesh. The dissertation also compares the statutory obligations of the RTE Act with the policy directives of NEP 2020, highlighting their similarities, differences, and challenges in implementation. Furthermore, the research identifies critical issues such as gaps in infrastructure, financial constraints, and disparities in digital access that hinder effective policy execution. It also examines the growing role of private institutions and debates surrounding affordability and equity in education. By integrating a constitutional, legal, and policy-oriented perspective, this dissertation provides insights into how India’s legal framework can be strengthened to ensure universal, inclusive, and high-quality education.
