Education is the most fundamental prerequisite for human progress. Employment prospects expand and incomelevels rise as a result of schooling. The growth of a person and the advancement of a nation are both dependenton education. The current article attempted to comprehend the disparities and causes connected with schooldropouts in India. Dropout is a widespread occurrence in India's educational system, affecting all levels of education, all regions of the country, and all socioeconomic categories. Dropout rates are substantially higher ineducationally disadvantaged states and districts. Girls drop out at a greater rate than boys in India. Similarly,children from socially disadvantaged groups such as Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes have greaterdropout rates than the general population. There are also regional and geographical variances, with childrenliving in rural areas/urban slums being more likely to drop out. Failure to graduate high school not only has a detrimental impact on people, but it also exacerbates existing social and economic inequities. To eliminate waste and increase the efficiency of the educational system, educational planners must first study and identify the socio economic groups that are more likely to dropout, as well as the reasons behind their dropout.
