        abstract = {In this tech-savvy generation, most children and adults are attached or addicted to digital devices. But also, another part of society is detached from technological advancement and digitally divided; they mainly come from the deprived and underprivileged society. The goal of digital inclusion is to reduce the gap between those classes. In this study, the researcher wants to evaluate the attitudes of B.Ed. Trainee teachers toward Digital Inclusion in the Purulia and Bankura districts of West Bengal. The researcher collected data based on the students' gender, locality, semester, and caste, totalling 200 B.Ed. Trainee teachers responded in this study. The analysis indicated that the overall attitude of B.Ed. Trainee teachers from Purulia and Bankura districts were at a moderate level and suggested that their perceptions were neither strongly favourable nor unfavourable towards Digital Inclusion. Moreover, this study found no significant differences in attitude when categorized by gender, locality, semester of study, and caste.},
