Social movements in India play a crucial role in reshaping education policies by advocating for social justice, equality, and inclusion. Movements focusing on issues like gender equity, caste-based discrimination, and access to education have galvanized public opinion and led to policy changes. For example, the Right to Education Act emerged from grassroots activism that highlighted educational disparities. These movements not only pressurize the government for reform but also create awareness among citizens, thereby driving systemic change. Ultimately, social movements contribute to making education more responsive to the needs of marginalized communities.
