Modern Indian History 1905-1920

Although the Right to Education Act was enacted in 2009, its roots are traced to the colonial era debates and also the demands of the Indian national movement. The idea was first clearly enunciated by:

Gokhale’s Resolution in 1910 in Legislative Council

Gandhi’s Wardha Education Scheme

Nehru’s Karachi Resolution on fundamental rights

Woods Dispatch 1854

Correct answer is A.

Explanation:
As a member of the Legislative Council Gokhale put forward a proposal for compulsory primary education in 1910. The proposal was as follows— “A beginning should be made in the
direction of making elementary education free and compulsory throughout the country, and that a mixed commission of officials and non officials be appointed at an early date to frame definite
proposal.” As a reaction to Gokhale’s resolution, the Government assured him that the subject would receive careful consideration. Consequently Gokhale withdraw his resolution. Later on,the Government accepted resolution only partly. A department of Education was established under the Central Government and the secretary was also appointed. The record of the progress of primary education also started to be published by the Government. But the main issue of making primary education free and compulsory remained neglected and unattended by the Government.
