(2) No citizen shall be denied admission into any educational institution maintained by the State or receiving aid out of State funds on grounds only of religion, race, caste, language or any of them.

What this means

The index files this text under article 29 of the Constitution of India.
The passage runs to about 58 words.
Read plainly, it mentions conscience and religion — it protects belief, conscience, religion or worship (the words used: “religion”).

The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“(1) Any section of the citizens residing in the territory of India or any part thereof having a distinctlanguage, script or culture of its own shall have the right”), so it is not used as the provision’s title here.

The index gives this passage an article number but stores a body fragment where a heading would be, so the number could not be cross-checked against the text. Check it against the official Constitution before relying on it in a citation.

This is a mechanical reading aid generated from the text above by matching words in it. It is not legal advice, not a lawyer’s interpretation, and not a substitute for the provision itself.
