Tribal education, Eastern India, EMRS, Scheduled Tribe

Education is crucial for building human resources and addressing the needs of the backward classes, particularly children from the Scheduled Tribe community. India has the largest tribal population in the world, accounting for 8.6% of the total population. According to the 2011 Census of India, this accounts for 8.6 percent of the total population of the country. The Eklavya Model Residential School (EMRS) scheme aims to establish and run qualitatively good schools for children from scheduled tribe societies. These schools enrolled children in the sixth grade, with admission based on selection or competition approved by local authorities, parents, and teachers. Education in EMRSs is entirely free, similar to Navodaya Vidyalayas. This study aims to assess the functionality of Eklavya model residential schools in Eastern India, focusing on various aspects of the school system. It aims to identify prevalent problems and potential solutions, as well as the educational provisions provided to help students achieve higher education and future placement in various states. The study was qualitative in nature, using a case study method. The data was collected through open-ended questionnaires, interviews, observation by the researcher, and official documents from the Government of India's Ministry of Tribal Affairs. Despite existing problems, the EMRS of Eastern India can be considered to have a very good prospect in tribal education. However, there is room for improvement in the facilities provided in all EMRS. For example, in Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Tripura, the school environment is very good, and the hostel facilities of eight out of sixteen institutes are very good.
