Chamarajanagar varsity VC emphasises the need for educating tribal children
Mysuru: Chamarajanagar University vice-chancellor MR Gangadhar on Monday asked tribal communities to focus on educating their children, stating it is essential to integrate into the mainstream of society. He was speaking after inaugurating a two-day workshop on education and challenges of tribals, organised by the Karnataka State Tribal Research Institute (KSRTI) in Mysuru. He said the seasonal migration of vulnerable tribal communities living in thick jungles and forest fringe villages, in search of jobs to distant coffee plantations, several cities, and towns, poses a serious threat to the education of tribal children. "As most of the parents of tribal children desert their hamlets along with their children in search of jobs, several children discontinue their studies. This has resulted in increased incidents of school dropouts in tribal areas," he said. "The majority of the tribal members suffer from malnutrition and various kinds of health disorders," he said. The vice-chancellor also said even though govts at the Centre and state have allocated funds for their empowerment, most of the time, funds remain unutilised due to the apathy of the implementing officials. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like USDJPY đang đi lên không?

It also sanctioned houses, granted land under the tribal rights act, encouraged them to do farming, and improved skills by initiating skill development. Director of Dr BR Ambedkar Research and Extension Centre, University of Mysore, Somashekhar urged govt to ensure employment opportunities for tribal students after completing their education, as obtaining degrees alone will not help them access jobs. It must create employment opportunities and provide jobs, he said. Deputy director of KSRTI Prabha Urs said only 42% of tribals from rural areas have access to higher education. "Most of the vulnerable tribal students discontinued their studies after Class VIII, with only 2% of Jenu Kuruba tribal children pursuing education," she said. Earlier, state tribal affairs department secretary D Randeep and director Yogeesh had virtual meetings with state tribal leaders. They promised to look into their demands and interests on priority.
