Abstract: De-notified and Nomadic Tribes (DNTs) in India, despite their cultural diversity and historical resilience, remain one of the most educationally deprived groups. The Ashram school model introduced by the Maharashtra Government was intended to mainstream children from such marginalized communities. This paper investigates the educational barriers faced by DNT students in government-aided Ashram schools of Satara district during 2013. It uses qualitative and quantitative approaches to analyze infrastructural gaps, policy implementation issues, and socio-cultural hurdles. Drawing upon a case study of selected schools and supplemented with state-level statistics, the paper offers critical insights and policy recommendations to address the systemic inequalities in tribal education.
