The research probes into the core of modernity and education within the context of tea tribes of Assam, traditionally marginalized communities stemming their origins to the British indentured labourers in tea plantations. It assesses how education foments for socioeconomic advancement and cultural perpetuation among tea tribes, while addressing challenges such as socioeconomic inequalities, cultural hindrances and inadequate infrastructure. The study reinforces education’s dualistic role in fostering social mobility and molding identity among the tea tribe youth amid the transformation in the social and economic landscape. Through qualitative and quantitative analysis of primary data supplemented the secondary sources a nuanced understanding of the educational experiences of the tea tribe is carried forth.
