6.18.2. Description

According to Article 28,

No religious instruction shall be provided in any educational institution wholly maintained out of State funds.

However, this provision does not apply to institutions administered by the state but established under any endowment or trust, which requires imparting religious instructions.

Further, in an educational institution recognized by the State, religious instructions can be provided to a person but only with his consent. In case he is a minor, his guardian’s consent is required.
