Scheduled Tribes are geographically, socially isolated and economically marginalized communities. In the post-Independence period, sincere and concerted efforts were made for the economic and educational development of tribal’s. Despite these efforts the performance of the tribes in education is much lower than the other classes. As the studies on tribal education suggests that the policy makers approach paid little attention to culturally linked education. This has led to drop outs and directly impacted their overall educational status. the women are placed at the absolute bottom of the social hierarchy. After independence, apart from constitutional and legal measures large numbers of policy initiatives have been initiated by government to improve their education, literacy and socio-economic conditions of tribal women. However these improvements made some extent of the development, but when it compared to other caste is not satisfactory. Generally we feel literacy only measuring stone empowering poor women.
