520			_aCaste structure in Indian society and polity has always been a matter of concern. The Scheduled Castes (SCs) have been victims of social exclusion and discrimination by rest of the society for ages through institutionalised methods. The British Government of India was first to use the term ‘Scheduled Castes (SCs)’ in place of Dalits for providing them with certain benefits. Later, the Government of India, after independence, carried the same nomenclature. Even after the passage of seven decades of democratic governance of independent India, the conditions of SCs have not improved to the desire level; they still suffer from various forms of social exclusion and discrimination in all public domains, including in the educational attainment. The present paper examines the different determining factors responsible for their inaccessibility to education in India in general and Jharkhand State in particular - Reproduced
