The correct statement is that minorities can establish and administer educational institutions of their choice. This right is guaranteed by Article 30 of the Constitution of India.
Article 30(1) states: “All minorities, whether based on religion or language, shall have the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice.” This is a fundamental right designed to protect the cultural and educational rights of minorities.
Option B is incorrect because Article 30 specifically mentions ‘religious’ and ‘linguistic’ minorities, not ‘ethnic’ minorities. Option C is incorrect as the right of religious denominations to establish and maintain institutions (under Article 26) is subject to public order, morality, and health, and is not unfettered. Option D is incorrect; receiving financial aid from the government does not strip an educational institution of its minority status, and the state cannot discriminate against minority-managed institutions in granting aid (Article 30(2)).
