Abstract

The present research paper tried to uncover the social transformation of Gujjars in the context of education and family life in the Jammu District Jammu and Kashmir UT. Social transformation, which takes place at the individual level, is the process by which a person transforms the socially assigned social position of their parents into a socially attained status for themselves. It also describes extensive societal change, such as social system reforms or cultural changes. The current study aims to examine the effects of industrialization, urbanization, technological breakthroughs, and recent Central/UT Government efforts on the lives of Gujjars in Jammu. Primary and secondary data on changes in their family life and educational experiences have been gathered for this study.
