Abstract: This essay seeks to show the beneficial effects of Christian missionaries operating in various parts of India without harboring any hatred. Everywhere missionaries go, it is seen that the people are well educated, especially the poor, destitute, exploited, and disadvantaged segments of society. These people were given hope, and these missionaries have been trying to help them politically, socially, economically, and educationally. Qualitative data from two Jharkhand State villages, Itki and Bhagwanpur, which are situated in the Ranchi and Deoghar districts, was used in this study to examine the role of missionary schools in tribal education. Several relevant topics were found. The information was collected in 2006 and 2007 from students in the age range of 6 to 14. However, the data also included the perspectives of a wide range of people, such as local administrators, elected officials, leaders from both tribes and non-tribes, and representatives of non-governmental organizations.It attempts to concentrate on unexplored research areas. This research is the first of its kind to analyze the role of Christian missionaries in the development of education in the Indian state of Jharkhand through empirical analysis. The study's conclusions have policy ramifications for understanding how they have influenced the tribal population of Jharkhand's access to schooling. This research also verified that the tribal population in Bhagwanpur village had significantly lower levels of education than that of Itki, since the village had only one government school.The Adivasi people were our predecessors. Nonetheless, most scholars these days, Asian and Western alike, use the term "tribe" instead of "Adivasi." Given that they were India's original indigenous people, it is pernicious to them. The term "Tribe" in Indian contexts alludes to the British Legacy. The Adivasi people are, in fact, part of the variegated makeup of Indian society. Ancient Indian literature is full of examples of this kind of evidence. The social and cultural structures of the Adivasi people were unique. They managed to separate themselves from the so-called mixed (Hybrid!) civilization. Despite the region's rich history, foreign rule has consistently overlooked Chotanagpur's educational system and that of the surrounding area, which includes a sizable chunk of Eastern India. There are still many historical remnants from the sixth-century B.C., when Lord Buddha and Mahavira lectured here. In terms of the Protestant Movement, Eastern India paved the way for religious awakening in almost all of India. But sadly, this glorious past had turned into a trap. Questions about the indigenous education system plagued the medieval and British Raj periods. To better the lives of those who had not broken any laws, they made the decision to do nothing. Their own indigenous educational system was all they had to rely on. Tribal education was thus mostly based on customary forms of informal instruction in order to maintain and transmit their culture from generation to generation.Key Words: Demonstrate, Bhagwanpur, Adivasi People, Diverse, Contexts, Chotanagpur, Surrounding.
