To bridge the gap and improve the literacy level of female students belonging to the Scheduled Tribe communities, besides usual reservation for ST students, the Ministry of Tribal Affairs is implementing many education-oriented schemes. This Ministry has been implementing a specific scheme for ST girls - ‘Strengthening Education among ST Girls in Low Literacy Districts’ in 54 identified districts where the literacy rate of ST female is less than 35% and ST population is more than 25%. The other schemes of this Ministry which promote education among Scheduled Tribes children are: “Construction of Hostels for ST Girls and Boys”, “Establishment of Ashram Schools in Tribal Sub-Plan Areas”, “Post-Matric Scholarship, Book Bank and Up gradation of Merit”, “National Overseas Scholarship Scheme for Higher Studies Abroad (NOS)” and “Top Class Education for ST Students”.
