NGO's and Inclusive Education in India - A Brief Review

  • Unique Paper ID: 172105
  • PageNo: 1988-1992
  • Abstract:
  • Inclusive education is a process that addresses diversity of needs of all children and is one of the most pressing issues in the Indian educational field. Following the World Declaration on Education for All in Jomtein in 1990, the Indian government started the process of providing a framework for inclusive education and incorporating the needs and rights of persons with disabilities in the mainstream education. At the same time various Non-governmental Organisations (NGO’s) started to promote inclusive education and in the decades that followed, became major stakeholders in the field. The efforts of both the government as well as NGO’s have ensured that inclusive education has acquired a wide reach and made it possible for the needs of diverse learners to be met. However, the role of NGO’s is especially noteworthy and this paper is a humble attempt to review the role of NGOs in inclusive education in India.
