The present study is based on primary data collected from Mahabubnagar, Khammam, Warangal and Adilabad districts of Telangana in 2013 for analysis, using random sampling techniques. The selected communities are: Yerukala, Mudiraj (Mutharasa), Budagajangalu, Dommari and Dasari. The study results show that DNTs lag far behind in attaining a minimum educational level. Moreover, children of de-notified tribes face problems in learning and language. High dropout rates found from upper primary level to a higher educational level. For a large number of families, economic constraints are the major hurdles to fulfil their children's educational dream.
