Abstract: Education of tribal girls plays a crucial role in promoting gender equality, social empowerment, and sustainable development. Despite several government initiatives, tribal girls in the Jungle Mahal region of West Bengal continue to face multiple barriers in accessing education. These barriers include poverty, early marriage, cultural constraints, and inadequate educational infrastructure. The present paper examines the status of girls’ education among tribal communities in the Jungle Mahal region covering districts such as Paschim Medinipur, Jhargram, Bankura, and Purulia. The study explores educational challenges, gender disparities, and socio-economic factors affecting tribal girls’ education and suggests policy measures to enhance educational participation and empowerment.
Keywords: Tribal Girls’ Education, Gender Inequality, Jungle Mahal, Educational Access, Women Empowerment.
