Abstract

This research paper examines the barriers to higher education for tribal women in Dhule District, Maharashtra. Despite government initiatives and policies aimed at promoting education among marginalized communities, tribal women in this region continue to face significant obstacles. The study employs a mixed-method approach, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative data to explore the socio-economic, cultural, and institutional challenges that impede their educational advancement. The findings highlight the urgent need for targeted interventions to ensure equitable access to higher education for tribal women.
