India passed landmark legislation on the ‘Right to education’ for all children between 6 to 14 years in 2009.  This only came to execution after the long and intense struggles of many national education leaders, such as Shri Eswaran, who led a continuous movement for education through national rallies, awareness campaigns, compelling field work, case study research and several negotiations to make the biggest difference in Indian children’s lives.  World education leaders identified this as a game-changing step in modern India for its development and social reform since it involves abolishing child labour nationally and offers universal education access to one of the world’s largest and youngest populated nations.
