Which Article of the Indian Constitution is related to the right of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions?

AArticle 28
BArticle 29
CArticle 30 ✓ Correct
DArticle 31A
Correct answer: (C) Article 30
Explanation

Article 30 guarantees religious and linguistic minorities the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice.

Article 28 deals with freedom from compulsory religious instruction in certain educational institutions, a different matter.

Article 29 protects the distinct language, script and culture of any section of citizens, not specifically the running of institutions.

Article 31A concerns the saving of laws providing for acquisition of estates and is unrelated to minority education.

Article 30 also shields such minority institutions from discrimination in the grant of state aid.

Together with Article 29, it forms the cultural and educational rights of the Constitution.
