A survey-based study by the National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights (NCDHR)'s Dalit Adhikari Andolan found that 56% of the surveyed students from the marginalised communities in the annual income group of Rs 20,000-40,000 were unable to access online classes. Further, 73% respondents from particularly vulnerable tribal groups were unable to access online classes in the COVID pandemic.

One out of every second Dalit and tribal student interviewed as part of a survey by the economic and educations rights wing of the National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights (NCDHR), Dalit Adhikari Andolan (DAAA), couldn’t avail online classes due to the unavailability of android phones/laptops. Twenty-two percent of students from these marginalized communities didn’t have access to internet facilities in their villages that affected their education in the COVID19 pandemic. 

These are some of the key findings of the survey-based study that was released today on October 19 in New Delhi. The report titled “Confronting the Pandemic: Response and Recovering for Dalit and Adivasi students” shared grim details about the trials and tribulations Dalit and Adivasi students had to face to access education during the pandemic. 

Of the 43 percent respondents whose colleges had started online classes, almost 39 percent were unable to access these classes online. Fifty-six percent of students in the annual income group of Rs 20,000-40,000 were unable to access online classes. Access to virtual classes improved with the financial status of the household, shows the recent study. 

Access to online classes was acute among all particularly vulnerable tribal groups (PVTGs). Seventy-three percent of respondents from PVTGs were unable to access online classes; among the ST community, it was 43 per cent; and 41 per cent among the SC community.
