{'93rd constitutional amendment bill': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'reservation': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'compulsory education': [1, 0, 1, 2], 'parliamentary seats': [2, 0, 1, 0], 'government recruitments': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'government employment': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'allocation': [1, 0, 4, 8], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'backward classes': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'age': [2, 1, 1, 2]}

Alert - the correct answer should be 2.

Option 1 refers to policies of reservation for backward classes in government employment. Although this is a feature of the Indian constitution, it is not related to the 93rd amendment.

Option 2 is the correct answer, as the 93rd amendment, passed in 2002, inserted Article 21A into the constitution, making free and compulsory education a fundamental right for all children between the ages of 6 and 14 years.

Option 3 refers to proposals for reservation of posts for women in government recruitment. This is an actual proposal often discussed but it is not mentioned in the 93rd amendment.

Option 4 refers to the allocation of parliamentary seats for recently created states. While the constitution does contain provisions for allocating seats for states in both houses, the 93rd Constitutional Amendment does not deal with this.
