| New Delhi: The Rajya Sabha today unanimously passed a legislative measure providing for necessary and compulsory education for children aged between 6 and 14 years.
"We are sitting on a great opportunity. We need to grasp it. If we lose it, the consequences will be disastrous," Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal said while replying to the seven-hour debate in the house.
The bill will now go to the Lok Sabha for consideration and approval. (IANS) |
