    HOW HAVE STATES DESIGNED THEIR SCHOOL EDUCATION BUDGETS?
    (CRY - Child Rights & You, 2016) Kundu, Protiva; Singh, Gaurav
    Around 68 years ago, India began its journey towards the goal of universal and free basic education. The Union Government initiated a number of programmes to achieve the goal of Universalisation of Elementary Education, the most signifi cant of which is the SSA, launched in 2001. Legislative response fi nally came through the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, which came into force on April 1, 2010, to provide free and compulsory education to children in the age group of 6-14 years in a neighbourhood school. In spite of these Government interventions, the story of India’s educational achievements is one of limited success.
