Consider the following statements: 1. Free and compulsory education to the children of 6-14 years age group by the state was made a Fundamental Right by the 76th Amendment to the Constitution of India. 2. Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan seeks to provide computer education even in rural areas. 3. Education was included in the Concurrent List by the 42nd Amendment, 1976 to the Constitution of India. Which of the statements given above are correct?

The correct answer is C because of the following reasons: Statement 1 is incorrect. Free and compulsory education for children aged 6 to 14 was made a Fundamental Right under Article 21A by the 86th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2002, not the 76th Amendment. Statement 2 is correct. The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan is a flagship program aimed at universalizing elementary education. It includes components for digital literacy and seeks to bridge the digital divide by providing computer education in rural areas. Statement 3 is correct. Originally, education was a State subject. It was moved to the Concurrent List through the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1976, allowing both the Centre and the States to legislate on the subject. Since statements 2 and 3 are correct and statement 1 is false, option C is the right choice.
