India is a country of multi-racial groups which is reflected by different cultures, religions, languages and racial groups. These social groups are at different levels of development. The Scheduled Tribe is one of the principle groups which have a history of discrimination. They are economically, politically and educationally backward. Right from independence Government of India has taken many progressive initiatives for the holistic developmental of the tribal. In this endeavour, the Right to Education bill 2009 was a landmark step in realizing the cherished goal of universal elementary education which will also certainly help tribal community.

The COVID-19 situation in India exposed the deep social and economic divide that exists within. Revealing these existing inequities and vulnerabilities, the pandemic situation critically questions what this divide means for the already marginalized communities in India. The founding fathers of the Indian Constitution foresaw the profound challenge of creating social, political, and economic equity with huge diversity. They saw education with development as a solution to create a just society. Therefore, the structures of reservation and economic support were built into the Constitution. However, these government policies of development and education were intensely geared towards integration as a nation-building exercise. Meanwhile, access to education is still provisional, subject to factors like lack of infrastructure, and that access is not always enough for emancipation. Through this chapter, the nation-building exercise will be critically examined in the light of diversity and t...

The progress of the country can be measured by the education of its people and their living standards. Renowned for its cultural diversity and integrity, India is quite famous in the international community, growing fastest in several areas, be it economic development, democracy, advancement, infrastructure, etc. India is setting new examples for the world. However, its cultural diversity hinders its development at the same time. The strong origins of the caste system are in the roots. A system that categorizes people and their living conditions based on the caste into which they are born means that a person is born with his or her occupation when she or he is born in a specific caste. Therefore, for so long, education was not considered worthy for the marginalised communities as they had to do hereditary work based on their caste. When India got its independence after so many debates and protests, the nation took the first step through constitutional policies of affirmative action, and reservation. People in the country, especially marginalised communities, are often deprived of basic human rights. They usually have to struggle for their social dignity, economic empowerment, and even sustenance. But the situation becomes more critical when they have to struggle for education. The government and state policies are aimed at helping the less fortunate. However, the sociocultural disparities often make public policies less effective, and they hinder the development of the nation too. In this segment, the article will focus on the National education policy (NEP) of India 2020 and the limitations of eradicating social inequalities against marginalised communities such as Dalits from educational institutes.

Spread of education has not been spontaneous. Levels and intensity are varied. Hence, planning for harmonious education is one of the themes for development of the country as a whole and education as a tool stands for all round progress of the people and society. It is obvious that schools and colleges are functioning as links to bring forth the tribals and other sections of the people of the country. But they need to be improvised to provide a common platform for all.

Education is both an indicator and an instrument of development, and its attainment is a major factor behind the accumulation of human capital. Literacy is a useful indicator of the relative development of a society. The Constitution is unequivocally committed to bring about social justice and equality of all citizens as well as to the responsibility of the state to preserve, protect and assure the rights of the marginalised groups and minorities. The importance of non-government actors lately has assumed center stage in realising the educational rights of vulnerable groups like the tribals. The paper analyses the role, pattern and impact of Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) in imparting elementary, secondary, higher and professional education free of cost. The aspects of vocational training, professional education, multilingual education, language barrier and culture components are also dealt with while analysing the model of education the organisation provides. The paper also delves into the innovation in education for imparting holistic education to the tribal children and youth.

Achieving what we believe to be the true purpose of education is a challenge in any society, particularly so in a society as diverse as contemporary India. Most attempts in this field are focussed on improving the access of children to education, but substantive questions such as: What is a school to a child? Does he/she enjoy learning? – are seldom addressed prior to drafting any curriculum or policy. Even where they are, the exploration tends to be qualitatively poor and devoid of stake holders’ views. Alternative educational organisations might offer a perspective on the crisis education seems to be in today, with children lacking lifeskills, governments grappling with retention, disparities across gender and caste and declining standards of education. ‘Kanavu’ is an educational organisation managed by tribal youth in Cheengode village of Wayanad, a hilly district in the southern state of Kerala, India. These are children who dropped out of mainstream schooling. In the light of e...
