The study used a non?experimental, cross?sectional research design with the main tools of data collection being observation schedule and self-constructed questionnaire to decipher the opinion of all the stake holders associated with schooling in the study area. The study revealed that under the flagship Programme of Sarva Shiksha Abiyan (SSA) government has been partially able to uplift the educational infrastructure. Through SSA Government has been able to enhance the enrollment in the schools but quality dimensions of education are still below standard. Physical structures in the form of buildings, bathrooms have been erected but quality education is still a dream in the schools. Teachers mentioned an unmanageable pupil teacher ratio, and a weak parental and community support. Study revealed a complete absence of female teachers in the schools. Study showed that the teacher student communication has been improved in the last few years by recruiting local tribal and non-tribal teachers. But the qualification of teachers remains a concern as many teachers with low qualification have been recruited.
