"40. Article 21A of the Constitution, as we have noticed, states that the State shall provide free and compulsory education to all children of the age of six to fourteen years in such manner as the State may, by law, determine. The word 'State' in Article 21A can only mean the 'State' which can make the law. Hence, Mr. Rohatgi and Mr. Nariman are right in their submission that the constitutional obligation Under (15 of 56) [CW-8567/2023] Article 21A of the Constitution is on the State to provide free and compulsory education to all children of the age of 6 to 14 years and not on private unaided educational institutions. Article 21A, however, states that the State shall by law determine the "manner" in which it will discharge its constitutional obligation Under Article 21A. Thus, a new power was vested in the State to enable the State to discharge this constitutional obligation by making a law. However, Article 21A has to be harmoniously construed with Article 19(1)(g) and Article 30(1) of the Constitution. As has been held by this Court in Venkataramana Devaru v. State of Mysore: AIR 1958 SC 255.
