ABSTRACT
Tribal communities are considered as early settlers. It is at the same time true that they are also non-static or itinerant groups owing to many compelling circumstances. The problem of crime in society is a gigantic and complex phenomenon. Crime rate as a whole is increasing very rapidly all over the world. Crime thrives wherever economic deprivations, social disruptions and radical discriminations prevail. The prime reason for the denotified tribes living at the subsistence level is their unstable occupation with uncertain income and disproportionate expenditure. Education is an effective weapon and instrument of social change. It plays a significant role in changing the fortune and lifestyle of the children. The ultimate aim is to re-socialize the DNTs to adjust them to the society and to rehabilitate and change them. The rehabilitative programmes for these people may be entrusted either to educational institutions or reputed social service organizations.
