INTRODUCTION
The Scheduled Tribe (ST) population is 104.2 Million which 8.6 percent of the total population of India is. Before we examine the structure and features of tribal society, it would be relevant to understand the meaning of the tribal children.
Children are the future hope of a country. Their protection care and nursing should therefore be the concern not only of their own parent but also of society and the state, therefore after independence, the problem of child welfare has engaged the attention of both central and state government. Recognizing the value and importance of child education of future nation building special provisions has been made for educational facilities of children of all section of society. But statistics shows that everywhere girl children are given less education than male children. And also some special measures to be taken like separate fund for girl's schools, introduction of some special courses. Unless the girls do not get proper education in their childhood, they will become powerless women in future and will be bound to depend on their counterpart. Male, physically, psychologically and economically which will ultimately make them vulnerable to violence.
There is supported to be something lying hidden or latest in every human child and that education is a process to convert the potentiality into reality. According to Mahatma Gandhi, " By Education I Mean an all-around drawing out of the best in child and man's body mind spirit"
