Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, provides for the right of children to free and compulsory elementary education in a neighbourhood school [3]. Section 27 of the Act specifically prohibits the deployment of teachers for non-educational purposes, with the exception of decennial census, disaster relief duties, and elections to local authorities, State Legislatures, and Parliament. Statement 3 refers to Article 30 of the Constitution, which grants minorities the right to establish and administer educational institutions [2]. Statement 4 refers to Article 29(2) of the Constitution, which prohibits discrimination in admission to state-maintained or aided institutions . While these are constitutional rights, they are not provisions introduced by the RTE Act itself. Therefore, only statements 1 and 2 are correct regarding the specific provisions of the RTE Act.
