Abstract:

The paper tries to sketch the schemes meant for the school going children belonging to SC and ST category in the state of Karnataka. The schooling in general has expanded in the state and so have the enrolments. The access factor has also received good amount of attention with schools being made available within the vicinity of the villages Habitations. The enrolments of these students in the recent past have been examined along the information relating to the dropouts of the same children. Though we cannot link the performance of such schemes to these indicators, it would be useful to understand the behaviour of such indicators. The data shows that the dropouts for STs are much higher than SC students which warrant a greater study to design ST friendly schemes.
