About RTE

Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act  is a law enacted by the Indian government in 2009. The act provides for free and compulsory education for children between the ages of 6 and 14 years in India. Under the RTE, private schools in India are required to reserve 25% of their seats for children from economically and socially disadvantaged backgrounds, and provide them with free education, including textbooks, uniforms, and mid-day meals. The RTE aims to ensure that all children, irrespective of their social and economic background, have access to education and can attend school.
