Book excerpt: Education is a fundamental human right that should be accessible to all, regardless of differences or abilities. In India, the journey towards achieving inclusive education for persons with disabilities has been marked by significant strides and ongoing challenges. This book, "Enhancing Inclusivity: Special Education Policies and Programs by the Government of India," aims to chronicle this journey comprehensively. From the early initiatives pre-Independence to the transformative policies and acts post-Independence, India's approach to special education has evolved significantly. This evolution is underscored by pivotal legislations such as the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act (2016) and the National Education Policy (2020), which have shaped the landscape of inclusive education. Through meticulous exploration of government schemes like Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan, and various scholarships, this book examines how these initiatives have enhanced access to quality education for students with disabilities across the country.
