We must create an inclusive learning design to make education enjoyable for all children so that education is inviting, learner-friendly, and helpful to them, and they feel a part of it rather than apart from it. Inclusion emerged as a viable solution to the problem of how to better teach these children. A good inclusive education permits all students to participate equally or nearly equally in all elements of the classroom. For the establishment of stronger and more inclusive schools, educators, parents, and community leaders must work together to solve the difficulties. The Indian government is working to enhance its education system by emphasizing an inclusive approach. India is no new to the concept of inclusiveness. In today's world, the emphasis is still on providing an inclusive atmosphere for all children. Inclusive education refers to the education of all children in conventional schools, including those with and without impairments. It is a method that considers each child's individual qualities, interests, abilities, and learning needs. In today's educational system, inclusive education is gaining traction. Inclusion without 'sufficient' general school preparation will not produce satisfactory results. The capacity for inclusive education must be built at the community level, with activities such as community involvement and mobilization being included. The Researcher has collected data from a variety of sources, including websites, journals, articles, e-books, reports, commissions, national education plans, and articles published in local, national, and worldwide publications. Secondary data sources for this review study include books, articles, libraries, reports, personal sources, journals, newspapers, websites, government documents, and online data, among others. This article delves into the notion of inclusive education, including its issues and challenges, requirements, significance, obstacles, implementation strategies, existing policies and future prospects in India. However it is an endeavor to address the individual requirements of each child, including those with disabilities. The current study contributes to a better understanding of the necessity of inclusive education in schools. There are numerous advantages to inclusive education. The goal of universal education is achieved by such inclusive education. When inhibitions and boundaries are removed, education's position is elevated. It has been concluded that the incorporating children with disabilities in education is a difficult endeavor that necessitates widespread community mobilization and participation as well as the provision of suitable answers to a wide range of learning needs of special children in both formal and non-formal contexts.
