Abstract
This article attempts to study the factors dealing with the decline in the number of male students from scheduled castes communities taking higher degrees. My affinity and constant contact with a number of scheduled castes members and their colonies especially as part of my PhD work has enabled me to study this unpleasant development in the recent years. There are certain socio-economic and psychological factors coupled with their difficulty to study English language and to comprehend classes taken in English are behind this bleak situation. It is imperative on the part of government and society leaders to take urgent measures to check this untoward phenomenon. The remedial steps suggested in this article would be useful in this regard.
