Abstract
The socio-economic and legal growth of tribal women in Assam is a complicated subject impacted by historical neglect, geographical isolation, and the emerging digital ecosystem of Northeast India. This study argues that digital legal education is a critical instrument for harmonizing the constitutional rights of Scheduled Tribe (ST) members with their daily circumstances. The effort stresses not just the technology features but also a true dedication to tradition, a respect for linguistic variety, and a knowledge of the structural constraints encountered by the tea plantation industry and isolated tribal people. The ultimate objective is to develop a citizen-centric judicial system by merging information and communication technology with legal education and the courts. This coincides with Article 39A of the Indian Constitution, which calls for equal access to justice and free legal help for vulnerable communities. The inclusive approach intends not only to empower tribal women but also to solve the larger socio-economic challenges they confront in Assam, hence supporting their progress in both socio-economic and legal aspects.
