ISOLATED COMMUNITIES AND THE PRESENT ‘BENEFITS’ FROM RTE 2009 IN ODISHA: AN ANALYSIS OF THE PRESENT TRUE SCENARIO IN THE TRIBAL AREAS OF ODISHA STATE

Education is the most powerful tool which can shape the destiny of an individual as well as the whole nation. It is pity that our great nation failed to eradicate the menace of illiteracy even after 65 years of independence, and this scenario is in a horrible condition in the remote tribal areas. It was 86th constitutional amendment made by the parliament and article 21A in the year of 2002 which made Right to Education a fundamental right. This act bounds all the stakeholders like parents, schools, society, states as well as central governments to play their roles in order to provide free and compulsory education to the children between the 6-14 yrs of age. In India acts are framed but they are not implemented with the true spirit. There are several issues and challenges which still need to explore and discuss for the successful implementation of Right to Education Act. so according to the above matter three research questions and same number of objectives have been taken to justify the topic and highlight the current benefits, scenario and strategies of implementation in the tribal areas. The study highlighted many strategies for better implementation like awareness, responsible organisations, management etc.
