Abstract As per the NCERT (2005) the Indian educational arena is a vast diverse system serving a huge heterogeneous population of students having a multi-level system or tiers of education at the primary, upper primary, secondary and higher secondary levels. The Indian Constitution has listed the “right to education” as one among the fundamental rights and education appears in the concurrent list also .The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act (2009) insists upon basic education of every child born in India. So the state and the central government allocate funds for education in order to equip all the government and government aided schools and colleges with necessary infrastructure so as to provide an opportunity to the students who come from economically under privileged level of the society. Tirupur District of Tamil Nadu is a hub for hundreds of units functioning to produce export quality hosiery products. Though this is good on one side , there is a lot of chance for the youth to abstain from studies and dropout from school if there is any difficulty in studies as they reach the Higher Secondary level. Since the schism between the government and private school is high in terms of teaching environment, facilities, and resources the children who hail from poor, uneducated rural pockets do not get an opportunity to have tutors or coaching classes to help them in their studies and aspire for higher education. With this background, the present study has been attempted.
