Rahul Kundal

Abstract :

 The present paper tends to seek the position of SCs and STs at schools in terms of attaining education. Education is one of the important measures in upliftment of the socially backward and marginalised groups in the society. It envisages carrying out a comparative study in terms of Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) and DropOut Rates (DOR) of SCs and STs at schools. The GER has been rising in case of both SCs and STs. The DOR has been declining for both SCs and STs at school level in India in the recent times.It will remain important to see which community is ahead of the other in terms of attaining education at school level
