Abstract: This study conducts a thorough examination of the right to education (RTE) in India, concentrating on the complexities of policy creation, implementation issues, and the socio-economic consequences of this basic right. The research attempts to give a detailed view of the condition of education in India by investigating crucial areas such as overall enrolment statistics, the efficiency of educational policy, and the empowerment of marginalised people. Using a doctrinal methodology, this research examines legal ideas and concepts in order to analyse and assess the efficacy of the right to education in India. The research intends to gain insights into the growing nature and effect of education rights within the Indian legal system by scrutinising legal doctrines, precedents and academic interpretations. This study provides significant insights to the continuing conversation on education rights, policy refinement, and the expansion of educational opportunities for all in the Indian context.

Keywords: right to education; RTE; fundamental rights; marginalised class; empowerment; education; India.
