Eklavya Model Residential School (EMRS) is a scheme commenced by Government of India specifically for Tribal Children across India. It is one of the flagship interventions of the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Government of India and was introduced in the year 1997-98 to ensure tribal students get access to quality education in the remote tribal areas. EMRSs are set up in States/UTs with grants under Article 275(1) of the Constitution of India. As per the budget 2018-19, every block with more than 50% ST population and at least 20,000 tribal persons, will have an Eklavya Model Residential School by the year 2022 and affiliated with CBSE Board, New Delhi.
National Education Society for Tribal Students (NESTS) as an autonomous organization has been set up under the Ministry of Tribal Affairs to establish, endow, maintain, control and manage the schools.
