India is the second populous country in the world with 6.77 crores of tribal population. Most of the tribal people are poor, illitrate and inhabited inaccisable forest and hilly areas. They lag behind in all sphares of life in compassion with other section of the population. The Government of India has lanched a number of schemes for the promotion of education and welfare among the tribes. In spite of these efforts the rate of literacy has not been improved. In case of the primitive tribes it is very poor and among women it is very low.
