Abstract
The Chains are a highly underprivileged and downtrodden section from socio-economic perspectives. At Farakka Block under Murshidabad district in West Bengal state the Chain community is enwrapped by a burning issue which becomes a hindrance for the up gradation of this community. The dropout rate of the students among this community is increasing day by day. It affects the Chain community from multidimensional aspects. Out of 500 samples of students both boys and girls belonging to the Chain community only 53 students complete their study and the rest of the students drop out their study at various stage of the school education. The Right of Children for Free and Compulsory Education Act, No. 35 of 2009 is not utilized properly to upgrade this community. Thus the society has to face many problems due to lack of education. The literacy rate of the Farakka CD Block is 60.47%. The literacy rate of this Chain community is very low here due to drop out problem. Behind this dropout problem many reasons are observed such as reluctance of the parents towards giving educational field to their wards, poor economical condition, involvement of the children into household affairs, early marriage and so on.
