Abstract This study aimed to assess the level of awareness of the EDUCATION AT DOOR STEP ( Illam Thedi Kalvi ) scheme among parents of primary school students in Kumbakonam Taluk in Thanjavur District. The EDUCATION AT DOOR STEP scheme was launched by the Tamil Nadu government to provide education to children of migrant workers who often miss out on schooling due to frequent relocation.

The study was conducted in eight primary schools of Kumbakonam Taluk using a survey questionnaire. A total of 232 respondents were selected through a random sampling technique. The results showed that the awareness level of the Education at Door Step scheme was relatively low, with only 46% of parents of primary school students having heard about the scheme. Among those who were aware of the scheme, only 29% knew the details of the scheme, such as the eligibility criteria and the benefits provided.
The study also found that there was a significant association between the level of education and awareness of the Education at Door Step scheme. Those with higher education were more likely to have heard about the scheme and understood its benefits. The study recommends that the government should conduct more awareness campaigns to reach out to parents of primary school students especially rural area people and especially those with lower levels of education, and also ensure that all eligible children are enrolled in the EDUCATION AT DOOR STEP scheme.
