The Korwa Adivasi Community in Chhattisgarh attains the status of PVTGs or Particular Vulnerable Tribal Group in India. The ethnicity of the tribe is deep rooted into the ancient Austro-Asiatic traditions and even with the constant flow f time they have been able to preserve their unique identity through their language, culture, tradition and tribal customs. However the community faces significant challenges in the field of education as the literacy rate is very low, particularly among these sub groups that are residing in the hilly areas and are popularly known as the Pahadi Korwa or the Hill Korwa due to lack of education facilities and schools in the remote areas. The paper attempts to survey the possible proof and reasons behind the low access to education of the Korwa adivasis tribe with special focus upon the present day condition and efforts taken at the government and non government levels for social well being of the conserved tribe.
