Abstract
The objective of the paper is to uphold the educational status of the tribals in West Bengal with special emphasis on the district of Purulia, which happens to be the most vulnerable district in West Bengal, in terms of literacy, poverty, health. According to Indian census, a person, aged 7 years and above who can both read and write with understanding in any language is taken as literate. Total population of West Bengal, according to census 2011, is 91347736 in which the number of tribals people is 5296953 which share 5.79% of total population. Tribal of this land are considered the most backward, marginalized, and deprived communities. It is evident that these people are aloof from fruits of modernization and technological advancement. It is universally accepted that education is the only weapon which could emancipate the subaltern class from their age old curse of backwardness and deprivation.
