This book is an attempt to create awareness among practitioners and to strengthen the focus on inclusion in their strategies and future plans for education and highlight the areas that need particular attention to promote inclusive education and strengthen policy development. With this, we would move a step further and look into the current research trends in inclusive education as well as policy backdrops which provide us with the fair idea that how this idea of equity pedagogy is being propagated in the national educational policies of our country and further their translations in the Indian education realm.

Papers compiled exhibit major concerns, issues, challenges and various practices for ensuring inclusion and inclusive pedagogical strategies for effective inclusive education. The researchers have also taken into account the social, cultural and learning diversities and the factors that facilitate to spot and remove barriers to learning and participation in education. It has the power to widen the scope of universal education by promoting access to all learners and accelerating educational equity too. This book also focuses on how stakeholders can contribute to the continuous growth of inclusive education and its implications for society, communities, schools and classrooms as well to provide clarity on theoretical and research perspectives to promote the integration of theory and practice of inclusive education.

The volume will be highly beneficial for teachers, parents, policymakers, administrators and students who care about the needs of the learners and the development of an equitable education system in our country.
