ABSTRACT The Right to Education Act (RTE), passed by the Indian government in 2009, established the right to an education for all children in the country between the ages of six to fourteen. Despite the law's comprehensive intentions, RTE's objectives were constrained due to numerous obstacles encountered during implementation. Unresolved social imbalances, inconsistent quality standards, inadequate teacher training, and workforce recruiting were among the main obstacles to RTE's successful implementation, which is explored in this study. This article offers concrete suggestions for improving the accessibility and implementation of the law among children in India. India has laid a solid groundwork for the advancement of educational rights with the introduction of the Law of Education, but the law faces several challenges that will make it difficult to fully realize it’s potential. When policymakers prioritize responsible measures and environmental inclusivity, solve infrastructure needs, improve teacher quality, close social disparities, and concentrate on education quality, RTE implementation can be maximized to a large extent. All relevant parties, including governments, educational authorities, and community organizations, must fully endorse these proposals. With the help of new innovations, India should be able to provide all students, regardless of their family's socioeconomic situation, access to high-quality education in conducive environments.
