        abstract = {Education plays a vital role in the social and economic development of any society. Despite the implementation of several government educational schemes in India, rural areas continue to face problems related to students’ lack of interest in education and low enrolment rates. The present study aims to examine the causes of lack of educational interest among rural students of Bhopal district, with special reference to their family background. A descriptive survey method was adopted, and data were collected from 200 rural students using a self-developed questionnaire. The data were analysed using percentage analysis. The findings reveal that family economic conditions, parents’ educational level, domestic responsibilities, social pressure, and lack of awareness about government schemes significantly influence students’ interest in education and school enrolment. The study concludes that government schemes alone are insufficient unless supported by family awareness, parental involvement, and community participation.},
