Right to Work: The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) provides the right to work by guaranteeing at least 100 days of wage employment in a financial year to rural households whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work.
Right to Education: The Right to Education is provided under Article 21A of the Indian Constitution. Article 21A states that the State shall provide free and compulsory education to all children of the age of six to fourteen years in such manner as the State may, by law, determine.
Right to Food: The National Food Security Act (NFSA), 2013, provides a legal right to subsidized food grains to approximately two-thirds of India’s population.
Right to Health: Article 47 is a Directive Principle that directs the State to raise nutrition, standard of living and public health standards. However, it does not provide for the right to health. DPSPs are directives not rights.
