पर्याय

• Introduced Right to Education from 6 to 14 as a fundamental right under Article 19A.

• Reservation for O.B.C. in government and private educational institutions

• Increased tenure of Rajya Sabha Members from five to six

• Decreased Voting Right to 18 years

Answer 1

Greater access to higher education including professional education to a larger number of students belonging to the socially and educationally backward classes of citizens or for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes has been a matter of major concern. At present, the number of seats available in aided or State maintained institutions, particularly in respect of professional education, is limited in comparison to those in the private unaided institutions. It is laid down in article 46, as a directive principle of State policy, that the State shall promote with special care the educational and economic interests of the weaker sections of the people and protect them from social injustice. To promote the educational advancement of the socially and educationally backward classes of citizens or of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in matters of admission of students belonging to these categories in unaided educational institutions, other than the minority educational institutions referred to in clause (1) of Article 30 of the constitution, it is proposed to amplify article 15.
Reservation for O.B.C. in government and private educational institutions is the correct option.
