According to a Parliament standing committee report, between 2001 and 2013, 793 tribal students in ashramshalas across Maharashtra died due to snake bites, scorpion bites and minor ailments. Nashik division alone witnessed 393 deaths, the highest in the state. “The conditions at the ashramshalas are the same everywhere,” says Lalsu Soma, a tribal activist from Gadchiroli district. “The teachers don’t want to come here to teach the tribal children. Often, just one person teaches all the subjects. In the interior areas where malnourishment is rampant, the children go to the ashramshalas just to get something to eat.”
