Out of the 47 tribes in Maharashtra academicians and social scientists have been able to write monographs only on 10-12 tribes. Although there is literature on Kokana tribe in Marathi language, there is hardly any literature on the educational reforms in a tribal community with reference to kokana tribe. Dr. B.A. Deshmukh is the first Member of the Kokana Tribe to complete his Doctorate in social Science Faculty. In this book, Dr. Deshmukh has not only high lighted the socio cultural profile of the tribe, but also emphasized the need to create educational reforms in the community. This book will certainly be useful to students of education, Social Anthropology, Sociology, Social Work, N.G.O’s and general readers as well.
