In West Bengal, many tribal students speak mother tongues such as Santali, Kurmali, Mundari, and Lodha, while formal schooling is mainly conducted in Bengali or English. This linguistic gap often creates learning difficulties and affects academic achievement among tribal learners. The present study examines the role of mother tongue based education in improving learning outcomes among tribal students in West Bengal. It also explores challenges related to language barriers in education and suggests strategies for promoting inclusive multilingual education for tribal communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Mother Tongue Education, Tribal Students, Multilingual Education, Learning Outcomes, West Bengal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 301-305<\/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\/301-305.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Mamoni Khamrai DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/04010041 Abstract: Language plays a crucial role in the teaching\u2013learning process, particularly for children from indigenous and tribal communities.
