మెయిన్స్
GS-2 (education, welfare of vulnerable sections) and KPSC Karnataka paper on tribal welfare. Issue: tribal communities lag in access to higher education and their knowledge is poorly documented; provision: Article 46 and the Scheduled Tribe protections, with State-level institutions as the policy tool. Implication: a dedicated university can link research with tribal languages and culture; way forward is adequate funding, local-language outreach, quality faculty and tracking enrolment and outcomes.
