Tribal children in Maharashtra send postcards to CM seeking free education for kids up to 18

Tribal children in four districts of Maharashtra participated in a week-long awareness campaign organized by the tribal rights organization Shramjeevi Sanghatana, urging the state government to provide free and compulsory education for all children up to the age of 18. Over 150,000 children sent postcards to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, emphasizing the need to expand the Right to Education Act beyond its current limit of 14 years. The campaign concluded with the submission of postcards and a meeting where the organization presented a memorandum and a replica frame of the postcards. They argue that extending education to 18 years would align with the National Education Policy 2020 and recommendations from NITI Aayog.
