The challenges of rural education in India are connected with socioeconomic inequality, gender differences, discrimination, geographic location, lack of infrastructure, language, poor access to digital technology, lack of teachers, and lack of learning materials. Those issues can be solved with the help of one scientific field since educational processes depend on social, economic, technological, cultural, health and policy environment. In this paper, the issue is going to be discussed how multidisciplinary research can change rural education involving education, sociology, technology, economics, public health, nutrition, psychology and public policy. Digital and blended learning, culturally responsive teaching, community involvement, teachers' professional development, health and nutrition assistance and policy making are going to be considered as interrelated solutions. Collaboration of researchers, teachers, politicians, parents, organizations and communities may offer context specific solutions. Thus, multidisciplinary approach helps to go beyond school access to the system of education which responds to the needs of the students.
