Eklavya Model Day Boarding Schools (EMDBS)

Wherever density of ST population is higher in identified Sub-Districts (90% or more), it is proposed to set up Eklavya Model Day Boarding School (EMDBS) on an experimental basis for providing additional scope for ST Students seeking to avail school education without residential facility.

• As of July 2021, there are total 367 functional EMRSs across the country with around 85,232 students currently enrolled.
