The Government of India is viewing with concern the fact that even after 73 years of independence, the constitutional directive contained in Article 45, which enjoys that “The state shall provide free and compulsory education for all children until they complete the age of 14 years’ has not been achieved. No doubt, a large number of schools were opened, and enrolment drives were launched to enroll children in grade I, but nothing tangible seems to have been done concerning those children who had already been admitted in schools to retain them till they get at least elementary education.
