  • Abstract:
  • To ensure that everyone has access to education, the Indian government has launched numerous laws and programmes. Children with specific needs are given special attention in integrated education, special education, and inclusive education. All young learners, including those with and without impairments, are expected to be able to learn together through access to common pre-schools and schools with the necessary infrastructure of support services.
