In India, tribal women experience some of the lowest literacy rates, hindered by socio-cultural norms, poverty, and inadequate infrastructure. While various government policies and grassroots interventions have aimed to improve access and outcomes, challenges persist. This study critically examines the effectiveness of government initiatives such as Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, and Eklavya Model Residential Schools, alongside local grassroots efforts. It explores their impact on literacy, enrollment, retention, and empowerment of tribal women. Using a combination of secondary data analysis and literature review, the article reveals that while policies have increased access, quality and relevance of education remain concerns. The paper argues for context-sensitive, culturally responsive, and community-driven educational strategies that go beyond access to promote holistic empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>Tribal Women, Education, Government Policy, Grassroots Interventions, Empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 1-8<\/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\/2025\/07\/1-8.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Asim Mahata DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/03060001 Abstract: Education plays a pivotal role in transforming societies and empowering marginalized communities, particularly tribal women, who often face layers of exclusion due to gender, geography, and ethnicity.
