Despite much anthropological research on education in India, the importance of educational anthropology is not properly acknowledged. This article argues for fuller recognition of educational anthropology as a helpful tool to generate well-informed grassroots research throughout India. It connects this argument to concerns that education among tribal and other marginal communities reflects problems over acceptance of diversity. Educational anthropology could help to support sustainable, people-centric educational policies, curriculum construction, and above all better-focused teacher training. Its interventions can provide cohesive glue for nurturing responsible citizenship for all Indians and would facilitate better integration of peripheral tribal communities and other minorities as responsible citizens of a huge nation that claims to be based on respect for composite culture and unity in diversity.

India is the second-largest tribal population in the world. However, after the seven decades of independence, the tribal groups are disadvantaged and socially backward from the cycle of growth in many areas such as health, education, employment, and empowerment, and more. Among these, for tribal society, education is an essential requirement. The state and central governments have initiated several programs to educate tribal groups. Many of these programs have achieved only 10 percent of the targets. The vast numbers of tribal peoples are missing their education at various levels. They lag in education due to the high illiteracy rates among the tribal population relative to Scheduled Castes (S.C.s). Hence, the time has come to consider tribal education and inclusive growth seriously. In this context, the comprehensive literature review seeks to provide a contemporary overview of India's current status and challenging issues of tribal education. The paper is purely based on second-hand information from various research studies conducted in India and collected from different government sources. The outcomes are more helpful in implementing schemes that can improve tribal literacy and inclusive growth perspectives.

The main intention of the Paper is identifying the competencies possessed by the faculty in engineering college and adequate skills of all the disciplines required and that plays a vital role in educational institutions.In this era, engineering education in India faces major challenges as it requires meeting the demands of technical profession and emerging job market. Researchers have created some universally desired, yet challenging skills for global workforce. Nowadays, technology changes rapidly, so we have to update our self-according to the changing world, i.e., infrastructure, content/domain knowledge, educators/HR trainers. Thus, our technical faculty members should necessary to learn the innovative approaches to teaching and learning, which in turn will require effective professional development for both new and experienced instructors alike. It is right time now to redesign our curriculam, pedagogy and make the pre-service teacher preparation programme mandatory part of technical higher education.
