Which one of the following Articles of the Constitution of India safeguards the rights of
Minorities to establish and run educational institutions of their own liking ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Article 30(1) gives all minorities, whether based on religion or language, "the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice". Article 29 is the tempting wrong pick: it protects any section of citizens in conserving its distinct language, script or culture and bars denial of admission on grounds of religion, race, caste or language, but it does not itself give the right to set up institutions. Article 19 lists the general freedoms, and Article 31 dealt with the right to property until the 44th Amendment repealed it.
