The Right to Education Act, 2009 — a central law — governs school education across India. States also have their respective laws. In total, there are 145 state laws and 101 corresponding rules under those laws.
Most do not apply to public schools. Public schools are thanked for their existence and no questions are asked ever. On the other hand, private schools follow infinite rules, and please everyone. Despite that, they are at the receiving end of criticism. No appreciation, and constant pressure to do more.
