India celebrated with bliss and joy as it had becomeone of the countries with free and compulsory education in April 2010 when the right of children to free and compulsory education act (2009) became effective through the 86th Amendment in 2002. Even before the enactment of the right to education Act 2009,the dream of universalization of elementary education has been achieved in India with the implementation of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), mid-day meal scheme, and many other schemes in different point of time. The right to education act 2009 is also revolutionary and will bring a revolutionary change in the field of primary education.

After crossing many barriers, the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009 (RTE Act) was passed by the Indian Parliament on 4 August 2009 and came into force on 1 April 2010. It provides free and compulsory elementary education to children in the 6–14 age bracket. The new statute makes it obligatory for state governments and local bodies to ensure that every child receives an education in a neighbourhood school. The Act's implementation should directly benefit close to ten million children who do not go to school at present. However, the RTE Act will face many challenges. The Herculean task for the government will be to provide basic requirements like books, classrooms, infrastructure and qualified and trained teachers. Further, huge financial support from and a tremendous involvement from citizens will be required. Discussed here are various provisions of the Act and suggestions on some policy measures to help achieve targets.
