The Right to Education Act 2009, also known as the RTE Act 2009, was enacted by the Parliament of India on 4 August 2009. It describes modalities of the importance of free and compulsory education for children aged between 6-14 years in India under Article 21 (A) of the Constitution of India. This act came into effect on 1 April 2010 and made India one of the 135 countries to have made education a fundamental right for every child. It prescribes minimum norms for elementary schools, prohibits unrecognised schools from practice and advocates against donation fees and interviews of children at the time of admission. The Right to Education Act keeps a check on all neighbourhoods through regular surveys and identifies children who are eligible for receiving education but do not have the means to. On the view of this act our SM volunteering team of KSRCT along with 200 volunteers have joined hands with Bhumi NGO and made about 8000 calls to find out the eligible children on 05/05/2022 and 06/05/2022 from 9.00 Am to 4.00 pm. On these days our students’ volunteers called to the parents who have called to the RTE helpline number and found out the children who are eligible for the act. Our students have cleared most of the queries from the parent point of view and guided them to successfully register for the schools that are located in 1km surrounding to their location.
