Educational Access and Challenges for Tribal Girls in India – Hardcover Research Monograph by Dr. Bhukya Srinivas Nayak

Description

The educational status of tribal girls in India is poor, marked by low literacy rates, low enrollment, and high dropout rates compared to tribal boys and the general population. Key barriers include financial hardship, lack of access to higher education institutions, cultural factors, inadequate teaching methods, and the need for the girls to contribute to household earnings. Government efforts like the Ministry of Tribal Affairs’ Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRS) and scholarships aim to improve access, but significant challenges remain in addressing the specific needs of tribal girls.
