E. The state is prohibited from making discrimination in the matter of grant of aid to any educational institution on the ground that it is managed by a religious minority or linguistic minority.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is C

Article 30 of the Indian Constitution guarantees the rights of both religious and linguistic minorities to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice. This provision is part of the Constitution’s broader goal of protecting the cultural and educational rights of minorities under Part III (Fundamental Rights).

Further, Article 30(2) clearly states that the State shall not, in granting aid to educational institutions, discriminate against any educational institution on the ground that it is under the management of a minority, whether based on religion or language.

This ensures that minority-run institutions are entitled to equal treatment in terms of access to financial aid from the state.

Information Booster:
Article 30 is a special right provided only to minority communities—it is not available to the majority community.

The right to “administer” includes the ability to manage staff, curriculum, admissions, and internal functioning of the institution, though subject to reasonable regulations.
