Bollywood has come out strongly in support of the passage of the Right to Education Act, which will provide legal guarantees for free and compulsory education to children in India. Priyanka Chopra, who was in New Delhi when the Act was passed, said, “It’s a landmark move that ensures that every child, irrespective of his gender or social status, has a right to education. There is much more to be done to ensure that this Act translates into concrete and meaningful steps.”
Actress Dia Mirza said, “A historic Act becomes a reality. Kudos to Kapil Sibal for including the rights of disabled children in the Act.”
