Abstract

The identification of attitudes and interactions was the main objective of this effort. In some regions of Balangir district of Odisha, it appeared to hinder the participation of tribal children. These attitudes and encounters were frequently barriers to inclusion posed by teachers and other educational professionals. The other educational professionals play prominent role in developing inclusion percentages. The researcher has made an effort to point out some practical, and long-term approaches. However, by establishing legal rules through the RTE Act of 2009 and Articles 21, which raised the education right to the status of a fundamental freedom, India has took the lead on promoting inclusive education. However, we are aware that while Indian laws are intentionally motivational, unfriendly and demotivated, governments prevent them from being truly applied. There are a number of issues and obstacles that need to be looked into and discussed in order to properly execute the Right to Education Act, with specific reference to the Balangir district in the state of Odisha. Three research questions and the equal number of targets have been selected to study the existing situation and preparations for implementing the RTE Act in tribal communities. With 100 elementary school teachers, 50 tribal tutors, and 50 non-tribal tutors, a descriptive survey study design was adopted. Additionally, a research design was used, consisting of 50 educational professionals, 25 tribal educators, and 25 non-tribal educators. Mean, SD, and the "t" test were used to analyse the data. The results revealed racial and ethnic disparities among teachers in terms of their access to quality education. Additionally, it was shown that there are racial differences among educators with regard to the right to education. Conclusion of the study included some recommendations, one of which was that the government should focus on women's health issues with more consideration. When it comes to including native children, community and non-governmental involvement is extremely lacking. Association and strategic discourse between the government and policy-makers are urgently needed. Children from indigenous groups should have equal access to and opportunities on in order to inspire themselves to participate in everything.
