The Power of
Higher Education

Higher education remains largely inaccessible to India’s underserved communities - Dalits and Adivasis, and other marginalized groups. Data from the NSSO 2014enrolment in college education for Dalits is 20%, and for dominant castes, it is 39.5%

Their presence is even negligible in premier universities as out of 10top universities in India, students from Dait and tribal groups are under represented in 7 universities (a recent survey by the Department of Higher Education).
