The Ministry of
Tribal Affairs is implementing the education-oriented schemes which include
Post-Matric Scholarship for ST students, Hostels for
ST girls and boys, Establishment of Ashram School in Tribal Sub-Plan Areas, Upgradation of Merit through coaching and remedial classes,
Rajiv Gandhi National Fellowship for ST students, Top
Class Education for ST students and National Overseas Scholarship for ST
students. These are supplementary to the efforts made by other Ministries to
improve the literacy level of students belonging to the Scheduled Tribe
communities, besides usual reservation for ST students. These schemes along
with various schemes of other line Ministries have resulted in higher Gross
Enrolment Ratio (GER) by the ST boys and girls.
The rate of literacy and the break-up of male and female literacy rates
among the Scheduled Tribes, State/UT-wise, is given as under:
