Sher-e-Hindustan,
According to a 2014 report by The IndiaGoverns Research Institute, Dalits constitute nearly half of primary school dropouts. Dalit students are given scholarships only after they produce photographs of family members working in traditional occupations. Among state schools, 88% discriminated against Dalit children, while 79% required Dalit students to sit in the back of the classroom. In 79% of schools, Dalit children are forbidden from touching mid-day meals. They are required to sit separately at lunch in 35% of schools [= segregation], and are required to eat with specially marked plates in 28%. In high schools, higher caste students are often advised not to mingle with Dalits. 

There have been incidents of Dalit teachers and professors being discriminated against and harassed by authorities, upper castes colleagues as well as upper caste students in different education institutes of India. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalit#Discrimination
