India's education system has shifted from conventional to digital learning because of Covid-19 pandemic, which has put the whole planet on lockdown. The Scheduled Tribes of Himachal Pradesh could not escape it’s effect. Due to online education which is the only way of education, their children are unable to get formal education because of difficult geographical situation, poor internet facility, irregularity of electricity service, poor infrastructure, lack of mobile phones, laptop and computer. This paper aims to explore the problem of getting the education of the Scheduled Tribe of the districts of Kinnaur and Lahaul-Spiti, as well as the two sub-divisions of District Chamba: Pangi and Bharmour (designated as Scheduled Areas) of Himachal Pradesh during Covid-19.
