Part IV covers adequate means of livelihood in Article 39(a), equal pay for equal work in Article 39(d), and promotion of international peace and security in Article 51. The right to free and compulsory education for children aged six to fourteen is in Article 21A in Part III. The Eighty-sixth Amendment also substituted Article 45, which now addresses early childhood care and education below age six. Both changes took effect on 1 April 2010. Before that date, Article 45 addressed free and compulsory education for children up to fourteen years of age.
