Abstract:
Tribal people are the original inhabitants of India. They have been living in remote and deserted places since the beginning. As a result, there has been very little meaningful impact of urban civilization and development on the tribals, which is why they have always been suffering from lack of new means of progress. Therefore, the tribals can be seen living in a civilization that was hundreds of years ago. Even today humans can be seen roaming naked in some areas of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Which is a direct proof of its underdevelopment. Due to living in remote areas and lack of means of transportation, they are still cut off from urban civilization. Similarly, tribals have been neglected and exploited since the beginning. Due to living separately, even the attention of the administration was not attracted towards their development. After attaining independence, when the Central Government started paying special attention towards their condition and isolation, only then did the state governments and other institutions become aware of their development and socialization and efforts were started to connect them with the mainstream so that the tribal people of the country can Be able to connect with the mainstream and also preserve our ancient cultural heritage. History shows that the tribes here have not only been educationally backward but also deprived. In the ancient Hindu period, most of the tribal society also remained illiterate, because in the Hindu society itself, Shudras and women did not have the right to get education. The story of Ekalavya in the Mahabharata tells us that members of the tribes in the Hindu society did not have the right to get education.
