In the context of a democratic form of Government like ours, education is at once a social & political necessity. It is rather said that in this great land of ours where knowledge first lit its torch & where the human mind soared to the highest pinnacle of wisdom, the percentage of literacy should be appalling. Today the foremost need to be satisfied by our education is, therefore, the eradication of illiteracy which persists in a depressing measure. A true democracy is one where education is universal & where people understand what is good for them & the nation & know-how to govern them. When citizens are in vulnerable ignorance & squallier, they know not themselves how to make the best use of the opportunities, the talk of fundamental rights or human rights become meaningless for them.
The Preamble to the Constitution of India promises to secure, inter alia "Justice,- Social, economic & political" for the citizens. The preamble embodies the goal which the state has to achieve in order to establish social justice & to make the masses free in the positive means. The securing of social justice has been specifically enjoined as an object of the state under Article 38 of the Constitution. The objectives of the Preamble cannot be achieved & shall remain on paper unless the people of the country are educated. The three prolonged justice promised by the Preamble is only a teasing illusion to the teaming millions who are illiterate. It is only education which equips the citizen to participate in achieving the objectives enshrined in the Preamble. The Preamble further provides "equality of status & opportunity & assures the dignity of the individual." The Constitution seeks to achieve these objectives by guaranteeing fundamental rights which are enforceable in the court of law. The directive principles of state policy are also with the same objective. The dignity of man is inviolable & it is the duty of the state to respect & protect the same. It is the education which primarily brings forth the dignity of a man. The framers of the Constitution were aware that more than 70% people in India were illiterate for whom human dignity & respect for human rights will have no meaning unless they are educated. It was with that hope that Articles 41 & 45 was incorporated in part IV of the Constitution dealing with Directive Principles of State policy The Constitutional commitment in recognizing the right to education also is in consonance with the commitment of International conventions & communities.
