ADIVASIS AND EDUCATION

ADIVASIS ARE DENIED EDUCATION In the hill districts of Iduki and Vynad, there are one teacher schools. Both the teacher and the students have to walk miles, through forests, climbing hills . The teacher gets a salary of about three thousand. As it is not economical, Government is about to abolish such schools. This will be a big blow to adivasis, who do not have dwellings, water supplies or ration cards. Does not the Government have a responsibility towards these tribal people? Are they to be recruited to the army of Naxalites?
