Right to education is one of the basic rights that should be given to all the citizens of the country. After independence, a lot of efforts have been made by the government of the country to educate the people. Earlier the literacy rate in the country was very low. It was around five to ten percent.

To spread education, the government has opened many schools across the country at a stretch. The schools provide free of cost education. Free Education is provided to ensure that people come to the school and get educated. The government has also asked big industrial firms and rich people to open schools at the same time to help in educating the people. After many efforts put by the Government and the nonprofit organizations, the literacy rate in the country is around sixty five percent.

The country has to go a long way to ensure that the education in the country is cent-percent. In the different states of India, there is too much disparity in the literacy rate. The government has to take steps to remove the disparity in terms of education in the various states of the country. Kid’s education must be free in all states.
