“…Socioeconomic factors contribute to negligible interest among parents and even grandparents to send their children to school, even if accessible in the close vicinity of their dwelling locations. [10] Dire hopelessness and alcoholaddiction demotivate tribal parents and elders in augmenting the educational prospects of their children [11].…”

Neglected and AbandonedChildren are the most vulnerable group in any society. However,a large segment of children face vulnerability in the family, even under parental care. Family-related vulnerabilities are inherently varied due to the diverse lifestyles and cultures across different tribal groups. The present study is a pilot study focused on assessing family-related vulnerabilities of children from a tribal village in Wayanad, Kerala. The research data was collected from a sample of 45 children from three tribal hamlets usinginterviews and the Score Vulnerability Assessment Tool. Results of the study showed that the difference infamily-related vulnerability to life conditions among male and female children is negligible, wheremost male and female children fall in the moderate to severe range of exposure. The findings disclose that 87% of children in the sample used some kind of substance (p<0.05), with asignificant score for the high rate of alcohol and substance abuse.

“…Most of the time, the policy makers' solution has been to create a national curriculum instead of prioritizing their skill-driven, practical skills that have had a more critical effect on their lives (Brahmanandam, T and T Bosu Babu, T., 2015). Rupavath (2016) found that barriers such as the lack of active involvement of tribal children in the school education system further create the space for tribal communities to be marginalized in educational achievement. Goyal (2016) has argued that the residential tribal schools in Maharashtra are deeply corrupted and abuse children.…”

India is the second-largest tribal population in the world. However, after the seven decades of independence, the tribal groups are disadvantaged and socially backward from the cycle of growth in many areas such as health, education, employment, and empowerment, and more. Among these, for tribal society, education is an essential requirement. The state and central governments have initiated several programs to educate tribal groups. Many of these programs have achieved only 10 percent of the targets. The vast numbers of tribal peoples are missing their education at various levels. They lag in education due to the high illiteracy rates among the tribal population relative to Scheduled Castes (S.C.s). Hence, the time has come to consider tribal education and inclusive growth seriously. In this context, the comprehensive literature review seeks to provide a contemporary overview of India's current status and challenging issues of tribal education. The paper is purely based on second-hand information from various research studies conducted in India and collected from different government sources. The outcomes are more helpful in implementing schemes that can improve tribal literacy and inclusive growth perspectives.

“…Consequently, both the groups lag far behind others, in terms of social and economic development. The Constitution of India had rightly recognised these two segments of the population as weaker sections of society, based on their socio-economic backwardness and the age-old social discrimination and physical isolation that they had been subjected to from time to time and at various levels of the life (Rupavath, 2016b). Indifferences, indiscrimination and social injustice has been there in most of the Indian societies whether they are dominant or not in their respective surroundings.…”

Various educational policies and government initiatives at the national level in India have aimed at improving the literacy rate of the tribal communities. However, even after 73 years of independence, the literacy levels of the tribal people have not risen to the desired levels. On top, there is the issue of high dropout rates (Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Statistics Division, Government of India, 2013, Statistical Profile of Scheduled Tribes in India, https://tribal.nic.in/ST/StatisticalProfileofSTs2013.pdf ; 70.9%, according to a recent study) among the Tribals (Rupavath, 2016a, Review Pub Administration Management, 4, p. 183). In such a situation, it is important to find out why tribal communities are still lagging behind in the education sector. This study will deal with the various aspects of access to education for the tribal communities. It will also try to examine the linkage between poverty and education. This is considered important since literacy can mean much more than mere bookish knowledge. A literate person can be expected to have more awareness about matters of importance to him or her. On the employment front, a literate person can have wider livelihood options—and not be confined to pursue occupations which largely entail manual labour. At the same time, a literate person would know more about his or her legitimate entitlements and be in a better position to avail of these. It is one thing for the government to reserve vacancies for candidates belonging to the deprived sections of society. It is equally important for more persons hailing from these sections to know about these and utilize these. Education can be a means for such persons to optimally utilize the opportunities available to them. It is a proven fact that students learn better and retain more when they are active participants in the teaching–learning process. For the purpose of this study, two districts—Anantapur and Vishakhapatnam (in Andhra Pradesh), and Hyderabad district (in Telangana)—have been selected for a detailed examination. The study will include not only the availability of infrastructure but also participation of the tribal students in the classroom discussions. The study will utilize both purposive and random sampling methods.
