Provisions under Cultural and Educational Rights :

Article 29 provides for protection of interests of the minorities.
(1) Any section of the citizens residing in the territory of India or any part thereof having a distinct language, script or culture of its own shall have the right to conserve the same.
(2) No citizen shall be denied admission into any educational institution maintained by the State or receiving aid out of State funds on grounds only of religion, race, caste, language or any of them. Article 30 provides for the right of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions.
All minorities, whether based on religion or language, shall have the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice.
The State shall not, in granting aid to educational institutions, discriminate against any educational institution on the ground that it is under the management of a minority, whether based on religion or language.
The rights under Article 30 aim to ensure equality with the majority, and not put the minority at an advantageous position. (This essentially means that there is no reverse discrimination in favour of the minorities.)
