Study of the Attitude of Tribal Population Of Ranchi (Jharkhand) Towards Education

Abstract

Education creates awareness within people i.e. discovering themselves and around, acts as the major catalyst and prime factor for bringing out the social change and transformation.Though, a lot of work has been done by different agencies to bring social changes through education for Jharkhand Tribes, especially at Ranchi, still it seems inadequate in terms of area spread and the quality. The objective of this study is to probe into the attitude of the tribal population of Ranchi towards Education and to find out the obstacles which negate the process of learning, which is the prime enabler for socio-economic, socio-cultural development and overall uplift. Result of the study indicates there is a strong correlation between the living standard of tribes and the positive attitude towards education, i.e. number of literate persons is more in case of families with sound economic background than those with relatively weaker background.The development & social security programs being run by Government, NGOs and other Agencies have wide spread coverage and bring out the desired result to a great extent. Following the Deming PDCA Model applied to this change process, after planning and implementing the changes, it is very important to check or review the actions taken and improving upon them, the last two steps of the model.This research project is an endeavor towards facilitating this review process further by the way of getting a direct feedback.
