Nice move to increase literacy rate in India: Now primary education will be made compulsory and free for 6 to 14 yrs old children

Well it seems something unbelievable ,but is true ,Now a decsion has to the long avaited law for compulsory primary education for children and the bill has been passed by government so from now onwards children have the right to get free education upto primary level and aging from 6 to 14 yrs and above all it is free of charge .
They do not have to pay anything for getting primary education for the age group of 6 to 14 yrs.
So from now onwards it will be the compulsory for state governments and central government to make sure that they are providing primary education to all the children between 6 to 14 yrs of age for free.

Even it will be responsibility of private schools to keep 25 seats reserved for children who are residing near their school and are deprived of education.

One more important provision is that during the admission process of such student no interview will be conducted by school of either child or his/her parents and they would not demand any donation from them.

This issue was pending to be implemented since December 2002 when it was passed in parliament.
Three cheers to indian government for such a decision .
