About the Book

The book is an interesting and a serious attempt to explore the problem of tribal-education in India. It attempts to juxtapose two different and too different well-defined and recognized dimensions of education viz. Teacher Education and Tribal Education within a common frame.
The volume is based on an axiom evolved way back to 1971 which holds that tribal education is best possible and can be a successful venture provided the tribe students be taught by the teachers from their own denomination. Fact reveals status of tribe teachers in Indian scenario is till unknown. An attempt to conglomerate achieved status and ascribed status of tribe teachers through ethno-pedagogic model is observed in the volume which may appear somewhat uncommon to the reader. The work recognizes the need to integrate anthropology especially the social-anthropology with that of education for better achievement of educational goals as emitted by a welfare nation-state like ours.
A thorough survey of tribal education scenario in the country is made analyzed the problems rigorously critically reviewed the recommendations of the various commissions and committees on the subject and finally enumerated the results of field based study.
