Concept:The Right to Education (RTE) Act provides free and compulsory education to children aged 6-14 years under Article 21A. It was passed in 2009 but came into effect later.
Explanation:The Indian Parliament passed the RTE Act on 26th August 2009.
However, the act was implemented with effect from 1st April 2010.

It also prohibits deploying teachers in non-academic work except for census, elections, and disaster relief.
Thus, the effective date of implementation is 1st April 2010.
