Abstract

Education has remained to be a contentious subject right through the years after independence, in historical India, it’s been said that one chose his “varn” on the basis of the field he mastered, even after 70 years we have not reached the stage, where we can allow a child to choose any subject of his or her choice and to continue the said education throughout, this paper makes an attempt to understand the contours of Right to education from the perspective of a child’s choice of subject.
