I. INTRODUCTION
The Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) was introduced by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in phased manner in 2000. This evaluation gave importance to assess the overall development and covers all the necessary aspects of the child’s personality. In 2004 this concept was implemented all over India with the notion of not failing any students till Class Five; rather focus on a holistic approach towards his/her development. The National Curriculum Framework (NCF) which came out in 2005 strongly criticized the traditional way of examining students as was only limited to specific question and answer rounds. It unknowingly ignored the child’s logical, analytical and social skills which was a crucial matter of concern. Till the end of 21st century India is expecting a change in education system. It promises quality education with equity. Inclusion of Right to Education in the 86th amendment in Indian constitution is a landmark in this field. According to the Right to Education (2009) every child has a fundamental right of gaining education. It has become an obligation for each state to provide free and compulsory elementary education to every child in the state. The exact execution of the Act can be well found in National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005. Right to Education (RTE) was enacted on 1st April 2010 was in itself a landmark step taken by government for improvement in education system of India. It has been assured by Act that, the education system will be free from anxiety, stress, corporal punishment, fear and mental harassment of child.
