The passing of the RTE ,Act, 2009, marks a momentous and historic step towards development of the children of India. It serves as a building block to ensure that every child has his/her right to get quality elementary education and that the State, with the help of families and communities, fulfills this obligation. Few countries in the world have such a national provision to ensure both free and child-friendly education. In India, where the illiteracy level is high, this is a major step towards human development. With a sound educational development, children have a chance at better futures.
