An Exploration of the Evolution of Inclusive Education in India : A Development From Bikalang to Divyang

In India, inclusive education is a paradigm shift from traditional segregated schooling to a system in which all children learn in the same classes regardless of their socioeconomic background, skills, disabilities, or other distinctions. This approach is predicated on the notions that every child has the right to an education and that diversity improves the learning environment for all pupils. This scholarly paper provides a thorough analysis of inclusive education in India, emphasising policy interventions, historical trends, and the obstacles to its successful implementation. Based on academic studies and government publications, the researcher provides an understanding of the difficulties encountered in attaining inclusive education and suggests various approaches to enhancement. The discussion that follows adds to the global conversation about inclusive education and its suitability for a range of sociocultural settings.
