Description
The deep forests of the Western Ghats are home to the aboriginal tribes Kattunayakans, Categorized under the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) in India. Despite various government schemes to improve their economic status, the literacy rates remain very low due to geographical isolation and traditional lifestyle. The main objective is to look into designing educational activity centres that exclusively cater to the needs of the Kattunayakan children, integrating indigenous knowledge and methods with teaching-learning sessions to promote lifelong learning. Technological progress and AI can be game changers for accessing quality education, including visual learning, language translation, and personalized methods while preserving cultural heritage. The research is based on a systematic narrative review, critically examining scholarly articles, policy and government reports. The outcome shows that these programs help improve academic skills while keeping them closer to their culture and identity. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing. All rights reserved.
