The term "Mini Constitution" is often used to refer to the 42nd Amendment Act of 1976 in India. Here are some key points:
1. Enactment: The 42nd Amendment was enacted during the Emergency era in India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
2. Extensive Changes: It is labeled as the "Mini Constitution" due to the extensive modifications it made to various parts of the Indian Constitution.
3. Fundamental Rights: The amendment significantly amended the provisions related to Fundamental Rights, restricting their scope and diluting their enforceability during emergencies.
4. Directive Principles: It strengthened the Directive Principles of State Policy and introduced socio-economic rights as part of the DPSP.
5. Preamble Changes: The Preamble of the Constitution was amended to include the term "Socialist," "Secular," and "Integrity."
6. Emergency Provisions: The amendment expanded the powers of the President during a state of Emergency, giving the government more authority.
7. Judicial Review: It imposed restrictions on the power of the judiciary to review constitutional amendments, limiting the scope of judicial intervention.
8. Election Commission: The amendment provided for the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners by the President, ensuring their independence.
While the 42nd Amendment brought significant changes, some of its provisions were later revised by subsequent amendments, bringing a balance to the constitutional framework.
Right to Education
1. Objective: The Right to Education (RTE) is a fundamental right that ensures free and compulsory education for children aged 6 to 14 years in India.
2. Constitutional Provision: Enshrined in Article 21A of the Indian Constitution, which was inserted through the 86th Constitutional Amendment Act in 2002.
3. Compulsory Education: RTE mandates that the government must provide free and compulsory education to all children in the specified age group.
4. Private School Inclusion: The Act also mandates that private unaided schools reserve a certain percentage of seats for economically disadvantaged and socially weaker sections.
5. Infrastructure and Quality: RTE emphasizes the need for adequate infrastructure, qualified teachers, and a focus on improving the overall quality of education.
6. Prohibition of Capitation Fee: The Act prohibits the collection of any capitation fee and screening procedures during admissions to ensure inclusivity.
7. Implementation Challenges: While RTE is a landmark initiative, its implementation faces challenges like inadequate infrastructure, teacher shortages, and the need for improved quality standards.
8. Monitoring Mechanism: The National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) and State Commissions for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR) monitor and oversee the implementation of RTE at the national and state levels.
