The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, represents the consequential legislation envisaged under Article .21-A, that every child, between the ages of six to fourteen years, has the fundamental right to get fulltime elementary education of satisfactory and equitable quality in a formal school which complies with the essential norms and standards. Article 21-A and the RTE Act came into effect on April 1st, 2010. 

Following are the implication of RTE : 

• Responsibility of provision of free and compulsory education, without taking fee from the children lies with the government. 

• Provision should be made to enroll the non-admitted children to the ageappropriate class.
