• A. Article 21
• B. Article 29
• C. Article 30
• D. Article 25

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

In the context of the Constitution of India, the provision that allows minorities to establish and administer their own educational institutions and ensures that the State does not discriminate when granting aid to these institutions is found in Article 30. This article is part of the Fundamental Rights enshrined in the Indian Constitution.

Article 30 states:

• All minorities, whether based on religion or language, shall have the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice.
• The state shall not discriminate against any educational institution managed by a minority while granting aid.

Among these, Article 30 specifically addresses the rights of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions and ensures non-discrimination in aid provision. Other articles, such as Article 21, Article 29, and Article 25, cover different rights and are not relevant to this specific context.

Answer 2

Article 30 of the Constitution of India provides for the right of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions of their own choice. It also stipulates that the State shall not discriminate against any educational institution on the ground that it is under the management of a minority, whether based on religion or language.

The correct answer is Option 3: Article 30.
