Education is considered as the backbone of development, both at the individual household and societal levels. Educating the tribal children has been a challenge for the Government for various socio-cultural, economic, ecological and administrative reasons. Government is redesigning its strategies to create an enabling ecosystem of equal opportunity for quality education for ST children.

One of the major concerns of Tribal education is the low ST literacy rate and high ST drop-out rate.

Reducing the ST drop-out rates in Class I to X is a challenge. Bringing them back and to gainfully utilizing those who have already dropped out requires extreme care, sensitivity, imagination and meticulous planning.

Through this platform, Ministry of Tribal Affairs invites ideas, suggestions, views, opinions, solutions, criticism, and best practices from citizen for innovative interventions.

Mr. Prime Minister. Kindly pay attention towards problems of Snakecharmers. Under the implementation of Wildlife Protection Act keeping snake is ban. This way their traditional profession of snake game shows turned illegal. Their traditional way of earning is snatched, but nothing has been done for them. Kindly do something for the employment, rehabilitation of Snakecharmers. These nomadic, landless, deprived people need your kind attention.

As I found, the main problem of this drop-out problem is poverty. The economic status of poor families forces them to bring their children from school and engage them in different works to get some income. Hence, along with increasing awareness about education, its very important to formulate enough programs that can bring enough income for their parents.

- If you see the present situation of the tribal then more than education,first thing need to be taken care is,1) make the children healthy, so that a healthy brain can contribute to the education later. 2) create work for them n promote people to be alcohol free. - What ever govt. scheme gets executed, to confirm that it is really reaching to the right people, take biometric impression. Also a team could be formed to do random audit and check with the people directly and validate the report.

This is a symptom rather than a cause. People drop out either because they find education boring/uninteresting/useless/difficult, or because they have to start earning.

Preservation of culture and autonomy to promote self sustenance and self development among schedule tribes. Appropriately quoted the word 'literacy' as against the 'education'. To provide literacy (saksharta) should be the focus of government. Education should be indigenious.

Classroom instruction is disconnected from the day-to-day problems of society. It prevents physical and mental development with impositions of rote memorization, and fosters dishonesty through meaningless tests forced on children. Perhaps many 2-room schoolhouses with internet connections, reading and writing materials, and a teacher, where all age groups of students can pursue their own practical questions arising from their own environment with guidance from the teacher will solve the problem.
