Is privatizing primary education a national pursuit?

There is a deliberate pursuit to privatize education even at primary level across our country. This is without any public debate or a policy, and despite it being against the spirit of Constitutional expectations and provisions of the Right to Education Act. Even though it is obvious that private schools imply an economic burden for many households, deprives the poor from access to basic education and pushes primary education to the mercy of private schools - most of which are profit making ventures not covered under any regulatory norms.
