Authors(1) :-Chandan Singh

Inclusive Education (IE) is a new approach towards educating the children with disability with that of normal ones within the same roof. It brings all students together in one classroom and community, regardless of their strengths or weaknesses in any area, and seeks to maximize the potential of all students. What are the needs and challenges for achieving the goal of inclusive education? How will an inclusive environment meet the needs of children with disabilities? How quality education can be effectively and efficiently delivered for all children? Therefore, inclusive schools must address the needs of all children in every community and the central and state governments have to manage inclusive classrooms. Keeping in view these questions, this project discusses in detail the concept of inclusive education, case study of primary schools, various participants perception, challenges and measures to implement inclusive education in India
