There is a connection with one’soverall development and adjustment to the school. Poor school adjustment can cause adverse effect in the performance of a student. While considering a tribal student these chances are high.

This study aimed to describe the adjustment of tribal students in their school. And it mainly discusses the educational, emotional and social adjustment of the students with respect to their school.
