AbstractThe role of the government is very prominent in the formal educational sector because it decides the line of action for approach and benefit to the students of all sections of society at state and national levels. Chhattisgarh, with one-third of its population as tribals, was constituted on 1st November 2000. According to the fifth schedule of the constitution of India, 60.55% of the total geographical area of Chhattisgarh is considered as the scheduled area inhabited by various tribal groups of the state, including 5 particularly vulnerable tribal groups. With the financial help of the central government under various schemes, the Chhattisgarh government runs various schools, hostels, Ashramshalas, and facilities for vocational education for tribals and other socio-economically deprived sections of the state. A field study is done by the author in Dantewada and Jashpur districts of Chhattisgarh. The establishment of schools, Ashramshalas, and hostels in the remote areas of tribal-dominated development blocks has played a significant role in upgrading the educational standard of the tribal students and facilitated them with opportunities for overall betterment.
