• A. Central
• B. State
• C. Concurrent
• D. Scheduled

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Scheduled

• Initially, education was listed in the State List of the Indian Constitution, meaning only state governments had exclusive rights to legislate on education.

• The 42nd Amendment (1976) moved education to the Concurrent List (List III), so both the central and state governments share responsibility.

• Later, the 86th Amendment (2002) introduced Article 21A, making education a fundamental right for children aged 6 to 14 years, enforcing free and compulsory education by the state.

• These provisions ensure that education is a prioritized social good, requiring cooperation between central and state governments.
