Dropouts from EMRS schools jumped nearly fivefold in 4 years; Chhattisgarh, Odisha worst hit: Govt data The highest dropouts in the 2024-25 academic year were reported from Chhattisgarh , Odisha , and Madhya Pradesh , according to information provided by Minister of State for Tribal Affairs Durgadas Uikey in response to a question in Lok Sabha. In total, 1,233 tribal students dropped out of EMRSs between 2021-22 and 2024-25. The number has risen each year, from 111 in 2021-22 to 241 in 2022-23 and 329 in 2023-24. EMRSs are centrally-funded residential schools established in tribal-majority areas to improve access to quality education. As of July 14 this year, 479 EMRSs are functional out of the 728 sanctioned, the minister said. Odisha reported high dropout numbers, with 84 students leaving EMRSs in 2023-24 and 87 in 2024-25.

Other states with high dropout figures in 2024-25 include Maharashtra , Andhra Pradesh , Rajasthan and Telangana . Uikey said several initiatives have been taken to reduce dropouts, especially among PVTG students. These include digital classrooms, provision of nutritious meals, counselling and vocational education in modern subjects like artificial intelligence and coding. He said all facilities, including safe hostels, CBSE-aligned curriculum and healthcare, are being provided free of cost to remove economic barriers. Awareness campaigns and outreach in remote tribal areas are also being conducted. The National Education Society for Tribal Students , which oversees the scheme, has carried out a large-scale recruitment drive and directed state authorities to appoint guest teachers and non-teaching staff wherever needed. The government has also significantly stepped-up funding under the EMRS scheme from ₹1,200 crore in 2020-21 to ₹4,748.92 crore in 2024-25 to bridge infrastructure gaps and improve learning outcomes.

School ready to admit students in Phule's ancestral village of Khanavdi
The school named after Jyotirao and Savitribai Phule in Khanavdi village of Purandar tehsil, where the social reformer couple hailed from, is ready to admit students. Jyoti Savitri International School (JSIS), set to commence classes from April 2026, marks a turning point for educational access in a region where lack of infrastructure had long forced children, especially girls, to abandon studies after primary school. The school, first proposed in 2020, will begin with kindergarten to Class 2 and aims to serve around 1,840 underprivileged students up to Class 12 in the coming years. It will follow Christel House model of holistic education that integrates academics with nutrition, health care, transportation, school supplies, and career support. Christel House India will run the school as a secular, CBSE-affiliated institution in partnership with the Pune Zilla Parishad and the Maharashtra government. The initiative was conceived by Rishikesh Huli, principal architect at Pensive Architecture, who was asked by Khanavdi villagers to renovate a memorial for the Phule couple. Moved by the community's reverence for the visionaries, he proposed a more enduring tribute—quality education that addresses the very barriers the Phules fought to dismantle. The gram panchayat responded by donating 12 acres, and Huli's team designed the campus pro bono. The vision was soon expanded into a residential school for destitute girls and underserved communities with the support of then-zilla parishad CEO Ayush Prasad. According to Huli, the construction of phase 1 is nearing completion with CSR funding from Fiat India Automobiles Private Limited (FIAPL). The campus will feature 24 classrooms, science and computer labs, administrative offices, modern sanitation, activity areas, and dedicated language labs. A residential facility for destitute girls from Class 5 onward is also planned. A memorandum of understanding was signed earlier this year in the presence of deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar and school education minister Dada Bhuse, marking a public-private partnership between the Pune Zilla Parishad, Christel House India, and corporate and community stakeholders. 'The partnership is a major step towards equitable education in rural Pune,' said Pune Zilla Parishad CEO Gajanan Patil. 'Built as a tribute to Savitribai and Mahatma Phule, the school will offer high-quality education at no cost to children, especially girls from deprived communities.' Jaison C Mathew, CEO, Christel House India, called it a 'landmark partnership' that aligned closely with Maharashtra's vision for its children. 'We are committed to empowering every child with not just academic excellence but life opportunities—moving them from classrooms to life.' The need for such a facility is pressing. Research shows that while the region is home to over 13,000 school-aged children, English-medium CBSE-aligned institutions remain scarce. David Harris, CEO, Christel House International, said, 'With this school, we are planting seeds for generational change—exactly the kind of vision Mahatma and Savitribai Phule had when they first challenged the barriers to education in this country.' More than 150 years after the Phules opened their first school for girls in Pune, their legacy comes full circle in Khanavdi—this time, with a school that promises not just access, but empowerment.
