Keywords:
Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Tribal education, Ranchi District, Inclusive education, Educational infrastructure.Abstract
The implementation of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) has significantly influenced tribal
education in Ranchi District. This initiative, aimed at providing universal access to quality
education, particularly targets marginalized communities like tribal populations. In Ranchi
District, where tribal communities face numerous socio-economic challenges, SSA has played
a pivotal role in improving educational outcomes. The program has effectively reduced
barriers such as caste and gender discrimination, fostering an inclusive educational
environment where children from tribal backgrounds can study without fear or prejudice. SSA's
emphasis on free and compulsory education has not only increased enrollment rates but also
enhanced the quality of education delivered to underprivileged students. Key components of
SSA, such as the Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya Yojna (KGBVY), have been instrumental
in promoting girls' education by providing a supportive learning environment staffed with
female educators. Moreover, SSA has strengthened educational infrastructure and resources,
offering a firmer foundation for academic growth among tribal students. Teachers and
community stakeholders acknowledge SSA's impact, noting improved awareness and
participation in school management and development committees (SMDCs).
