India is regarded as the most second largest tribal dominated country in the world. The tribal people are intrinsic part of the national life which has been instrumental in contributing to the complex amalgam of national culture by their rich cultural heritage. From thousands of years, they survived in a natural environment with simple lifestyle and developed their cultural pattern which is congenial to their consequent physical and social environment. Even the references of such tribal groups are found in the ancient literature of Ramayana and Mahabharata. At present, the tribal population of India falls into three main zones namely, North Eastern Zone, the Central Zone and the Southern Zone.
The basic problem that all living being face after taking birth is the problem of adaptation to environment mentally, physically, emotionally, socially and professionally. Some creatures have some natural capacities that help them adapt to their environment and no systematic education is needed for this purpose but the case of human is different because of the most dependent being of all the living being known. Family and the society educate the man formally as well as informally to make him dependent. The intellectual power and wisdom that man has over and above other animals help him to receive education. It is the education that helps him to adapt to the environment. It is generally believed that children are educated in schools and colleges. But the truth is that a child receives his education from various sources besides schools and college. American educationist John Dewey defines education as a process of life or development. This development depends upon heredity and environment. Heredity is fixed and definite but environment can be manipulated to be good or bad. Thus, education clearly means the providing of proper environment for the development of the child. The family, the school, the community, the state, the newspapers, the magazines, the radio, the television, the cinema etc. are all the means which provide diverse opportunities for the child to learn something or the other and bring about a modification in his behaviour. All these means are the sources of education. All these agencies of education have their impact upon the growing child as they influence the education or development of the child in their own way directly or indirectly, openly or silently. Hence, through all these agencies education is concerned with the preservation, transmission and development of cultural heritage. Education imparted through informal agencies is natural and incidence. It is imparted in a free atmosphere without any rigid control and direction. These agencies inculcate the desired human qualities and moral values in the child. Home is the first basic informal agency where child learns various theories and principles of conduct and behaviour. Home environment brings the socialization of the child and imbue him with a sense of duty and responsibility. Family is a basic unit of a society where a child born and develop their emotions. Academic development and progress of the students depend upon the parental involvement with the school, their socio-economic status (SES), their education, their attitude and their thoughts. The amount of parent's interest, behaviour and discussion among family members directly affects the student's academic life. Parents are first educator of their children. A child's family and healthy home environment has a positive impact on their language and literacy development and their academic performance. This impact is stronger during the childhood but continues throughout their academic life. Home is the basic place for emotional learning where a child learns how to feel and how to give reaction of feelings, how to read and express hopes and fears and how to express own feelings.
