Abstract [English]

The Indian Constitution guarantees fundamental rights and directive principles that ensure social justice, equality, health, and education for all. However, Adivasi (tribal) children remain one of the most vulnerable groups due to socio-economic disadvantages, poor access to healthcare, and limited educational opportunities. This paper explores the relationship between children’s personal information and nutritional factors, using empirical data to highlight disparities. The study emphasizes the importance of constitutional safeguards and effective policy implementation in ensuring the right to health and education for Adivasi children.
