Scheduled Tribe (ST) students in West Bengal have historically faced educational disadvantages due to socio-economic marginalization, geographical isolation, and limited access to educational resources. Although government initiatives and reservation policies have improved enrollment rates, the participation of tribal students in higher education remains comparatively low. This paper examines the status of higher education participation among Scheduled Tribe students in West Bengal, identifies major challenges affecting their access and retention, and explores policy measures and institutional strategies to promote inclusive and equitable higher education opportunities for tribal communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Higher Education, Scheduled Tribe Students, Educational Access, Social Inclusion, West Bengal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 273-277<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bijmrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/273-277.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Mamoni Khamrai DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/04020037 Abstract: Higher education plays a vital role in promoting social mobility, economic development, and empowerment among marginalized communities.
