Authors

Abstract
The Kani tribal community, concentrated in the
forest regions of Thiruvananthapuram district in Kerala, represents a society
negotiating between traditional practices and modern pressures. This article
investigates their economic subsistence and educational developments as two
distinct yet interrelated dimensions of their existence. The Kanis have seen
their livelihoods shift under the influence of state regulations,
modernization, and market encroachment. Similarly, despite Kerala’s literacy
achievements, the Kanis continue to confronting educational challenges due to
poverty, isolation, and cultural barriers. Taking from field observations, oral
narratives, and secondary sources, this study analyzes the structural obstacles
faced by the community and emphasizes the need for culturally sensitive,
participatory developmental strategies.
