Article 28 of the Indian Constitution pertains to the freedom of religious instruction in educational institutions. It lays down certain provisions to ensure that no religious instruction is imparted in any educational institution that is wholly funded by the government.

The key points of Article 28 are as follows:

No religious instruction: According to Article 28(1), no religious instruction is allowed in any educational institution that is wholly maintained by the state funds.
Optional religious instruction for students: Article 28(3) states that if an educational institution receiving aid from the state funds is established by a minority group, then students from that group have the right to receive religious instruction according to their religion. However, this instruction should not be compulsory for students from other religious backgrounds.
The aim of Article 28 is to ensure that government-funded educational institutions remain secular and do not impose religious instruction on students from diverse religious backgrounds. This provision upholds the principle of freedom of religion and maintains the secular fabric of the Indian education system.
