Education is considered as the most powerful instrument of social change and development. It is only through education that people can bring desirable changes and development by developing their social and economic conditions of the people. But in a caste ridden and hierarchical society like India access to educational opportunities is unequal and unjust. Though, Scheduled caste group is the part and parcel of the mainstream of the total population of West Bengal. It has been found that scheduled caste groups are regarded as depressed and exploited class people in West Bengal who find social, economic and political exploitation since long ago. Education is the most crucial tool of empowering marginalized people to lift themselves from the existing levels of poverty and socio-economic backwardness. Various government policies focusing on the upliftment of these marginalized communities and efforts being made are to improve their socio-economic and political condition. But the conditions of the majority of the scheduled caste people have by and large remained the same. And in Nadia district also their education and socio-economic status of SC population is not satisfactory. So there is need a systematic study on exploration of education of scheduled caste population. In this regard, a systematic study is conducted of schedule caste population under Birbhum Development Block of Nadia District. In this study the researcher followed the descriptive research with survey method. All the SC people inhabited villages under Birbhum Development Block constituted the target population. Simple random sampling was followed for the study. An attempt has been made in this paper to highlight educational status of SC people and causes of their backwardness in educational development and achievements.
