Analysing SC, ST and OBC dropouts in higher education

Recently in Rajya Sabha, Union Minister of State for Education, Subhas Sarkar, presented data of the number of dropout students. If you see the number of dropouts, it is around 25,000 in the last 5 years. If someone sees merely numbers, he/she cannot understand the larger narrative behind these. In fact, numbers always remain attached with context and narrative which can explain the making of these numbers. Behind every number is reality, and one should see that.
