Government schemes and policies for tribal education are designed to ensure equitable access to quality education for Scheduled Tribes (STs), promote educational inclusion, preserve tribal identity, and reduce the socio-economic disparities faced by tribal communities. Since tribal populations often live in remote and forested regions with limited educational infrastructure, the Government of India has introduced several targeted interventions to improve enrolment, retention, and educational outcomes. The constitutional framework provides the foundation for tribal education. Article 46 of the Constitution directs the State to promote the educational and economic interests of Scheduled Tribes and protect them from social injustice and exploitation. Articles 15(4), 16(4), and 21A further empower the State to make special provisions for disadvantaged groups and guarantee the right to free and compulsory education for children between 6 and 14 years. The Ministry of Tribal Affairs is the nodal agency responsible for formulating and implementing schemes for tribal welfare and education. It works in coordination with state governments and educational institutions to improve literacy and educational attainment among tribal communities. One of the most significant initiatives is the Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRS) scheme. These residential schools provide quality education to tribal students from Classes VI to XII
