Challenges faced by rural education in India include inadequate infrastructure, such as lack of schools and qualified teachers. Geographic isolation often limits students' access to quality education and resources, particularly in remote areas. Economic constraints force many children to prioritize work over schooling. Additionally, there are cultural barriers and a lack of awareness about the importance of education, which can result in lower enrollment and retention rates. Furthermore, inadequate government funding can hinder the development of effective educational programs and initiatives tailored to the rural context.
