IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT THAT THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN FROM NOMADIC COMMUNITIES LIVING IN SLUM AREAS FAIL IN ACADEMICS. ON THE CONTRARY, CURRICULUMS WERE DESIGNED SUCH THAT THEY SHOULD FAIL AND NOT BE EDUCATED. RIGID SCHOOL TIMETABLES AND THE CONVOLUTED MENTALITY OF THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT AND THE TEACHERS, AUTOMATICALLY LEFT THE DENOTIFIED TRIBES BEHIND. THERE WAS IGNORANCE AND NOT MUCH EMPHASIS ON PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION. ALSO, WHEN THE COALITION GOVERNMENT CAME, THE SCHOOLING OF THE BAHUJAN COMMUNITY WAS ECLIPSED. ANNOUNCEMENTS WERE MADE FOR WELFARE OF MASSES, HOWEVER, ALL THESE WELFARE SCHEMES WERE SUPERFICIAL AND WERE NOT AT ALL HELPFUL IN THE EDUCATION OF NOMADIC COMMUNITIES. ALTHOUGH SECONDARY EDUCATION BECAME FREE, THE ISSUE OF EDUCATION OF NOMADS BECAME DIFFICULT DAY BY DAY. EVEN THE POOREST OF THE POOR HAVE REALIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION, BUT EVEN TODAY PEOPLE ARE VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS SYSTEM. BECAUSE EVEN AN EFFECTIVE TOOL LIKE EDUCATION IS USED BY POLITICIANS AS A WEAPON OF EXPLOITATION. BEING EDUCATED OR UNEDUCATED MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO OUR SITUATION; IN THIS HOPELESS SITUATION, COMMONERS AND NOMADS ALSO HAVE TO FACE NEW CHALLENGES EVERY DAY. THEREFORE, NOT ONLY THE DENOTIFIED AND NOMADIC TRIBES, BUT EVERYONE QUESTIONS- `WHY SHOULD I STUDY`? THAT STILL REMAINS UNANSWERED.
