The article examines the most recent amendment of Section 12(1)(c) of the Right to Education Act, from the Maharashtra government whereby all the private schools that have a government school in the radius of one kilometre are not obligated to give admission under the 25% reservation for EWS/DG students. It makes the argument that structural flaws at the core, budgetary constraints, administrative issues, political decisions and their shortsightedness may have contributed to the 2009 inclusion of a clause reserving 25% of seats for EWS students and this recent amendment by Maharashtra Government in 2024. This commentary attempts to throw light on two aspects of policymaking and revision: Firstly, the difference in purported reason and the underlying reasons in policymaking. Secondly, hasty revisions often cut short the time required for long-term changes
