Fundamental Rights: Article 30

What is it?: Right of Minorities to Establish and Administer Educational Institutions
- Article 30 grants the following rights to minorities, whether religious or linguistic:
  - Minorities have the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice.
  - The 44th Amendment Act of 1978 ensures that the compensation for the compulsory acquisition of property from a minority educational institution does not infringe upon their rights to operate.
  - The State cannot discriminate against any educational institution managed by a minority when granting aid.
- Minority educational institutions are of three types
  - Institutions that seek recognition as well as aid from the State;
  - Institutions that seek only recognition from the State and not aid;
  - Institutions that neither seek recognition nor aid from the State.

The institutions of first and second type are subject to the regulatory power of the state about syllabus prescription, academic standards, discipline, sanitation, and employment of teaching staff.
The institutions of third type are free to administer their affairs but subject to operation of general laws like contrct law, labour law, industrial law, tax law, economic regulations
