Amendment Of Article 51
In Article 51, there was an addition after Clause(j), and the added clause that “who is a parent or guardian to provide opportunities for education to his child or, as the case may be, ward between the age of six and fourteen years.” This was named clause (k). The Indian Constitution initially did not include essential obligations. The 42nd Amendment Act of 1976 added ten necessary commitments, and the 86th CAA added one more responsibility. “All citizens who are parents or guardians may give educational opportunities for children or wards between the ages of 6 and 14,” the 86th CAA included as an essential requirement. These are non-justiciable moral obligations owed by national citizens.
Eighty-Sixth Amendment Act 2002
The Indian constitution was a rigid pole until issues like poverty, education, gender empowerment, regional disparity, household conflicts, rich-poor vulnerability, and countless others hindered the growth of Indian society. Taking this into account, the Government of India introduced amendments to the constitution. The Eighty-Sixth Amendment was one of the most important and infamous amendments the government brought into the body. The Eight-Sixth Amendment was introduced on 12th December 2002. The Parliament enacted it in the 53rd Year of the Republic of India. The amendment had many new codes and decrees to be followed by the state in favour of children belonging to economically weaker sections. Certain fundamental rights and duties were amended to ensure that education reached every corner of the nation.
