ABSTRACT:
Education is a fundamental pillar of inclusive growth and sustainable national development. In India, tribal communities continue to face persistent challenges in accessing quality education due to geographical isolation, economic deprivation, digital exclusion, and administrative constraints. To address these challenges, the Government of India and the Government of Maharashtra have implemented several school-level educational schemes aimed at improving enrollment, retention, and learning outcomes among tribal students. In recent years, digital transformation and corporate strategic practices have emerged as critical enablers in strengthening the effectiveness, reach, and governance of these educational initiatives.

This research paper examines the role of digital transformation and corporate strategy in strengthening government educational schemes for tribal students in the Amravati Division of Maharashtras. The study adopts a multidisciplinary approach, integrating perspectives from education, economics, public administration, information technology, and management studies. It focuses on key government initiatives such as Ashram Schools, scholarship schemes, hostels, mid-day meal programs, free textbook distribution, and digital learning interventions.

The study is based on secondary data collected from government reports, policy documents, educational statistics (2018–2023), and existing research literature, complemented by insights from selected case studies. Digital transformation is analyzed in terms of e-governance systems, digital classrooms, online scholarship portals, student tracking systems, and the use of ICT tools in teaching and learning. Corporate strategy concepts such as strategic planning, performance monitoring, stakeholder collaboration, resource optimization, and public–private partnerships are applied to evaluate the management and implementation of these schemes.

The findings indicate that digital initiatives have significantly improved transparency, access to educational benefits, and administrative efficiency. At the same time, the application of corporate strategic principles has enhanced coordination, accountability, and outcome-based planning in scheme implementation. However, the study also identifies challenges such as limited digital infrastructure, inadequate training of teachers, connectivity issues in remote tribal areas, and gaps between policy design and ground-level execution.

The paper concludes that the integration of digital transformation and corporate strategy into government educational schemes has the potential to substantially improve educational outcomes for tribal students, thereby contributing to inclusive human capital development. The study offers policy recommendations to strengthen digital infrastructure, promote capacity building, and adopt strategic management practices for sustainable tribal education development in the Amravati Division.
