The level of educational status of schedule caste in Haryana at districts level is obtained with help of composite index based on optimum combinations of five educational performance indicators. The study utilizes very recent time point for measurement of educational status for schedule caste in twenty one districts of Haryana. It is found that Punchkula scores first rank in the schedule caste educational level whereas Fatehabad stands on the last position. Wide disparities have been observed in the level of scheduled caste educational status among the districts of Haryana. It is a well-known fact that members of the scheduled castes have suffered from severe discrimination- social exclusion, since historical times. Haryana, over the last three decades, has witnessed a remarkable economic growth. The economic growth in Haryana has been highly concentrated. Districts surrounding the national capital have grown at a very high rate, while the western districts, despite their low base, have grown at a much lower rate. The present paper will mainly focus on caste inequalities in Haryana with respect to scheduled castes. The educational status of scheduled castes varies from one district to another district due to various socio-economic and political reasons.
