Article ................... of Constitution of India, provides for free and compulsory education for all children upto the age of 14 years.
Answer: D
The Article is 45.
As originally enacted, Article 45, a Directive Principle, said that the State shall endeavour to provide, within ten years of the commencement of the Constitution, free and compulsory education for all children until they complete the age of 14 years. The 86th Amendment (2002) made elementary education a fundamental right under Article 21A, for children aged 6 to 14, and recast Article 45 to deal with early childhood care and education below the age of six.
Of the options, only Article 45 has carried this provision. Article 39 lists other principles of policy, including protection of children's health, and Articles 72 and 79 deal with the President's pardoning power and the constitution of Parliament.
