Inclusive education is an approach to teaching all the students under one roof that includes underrepresented groups along with the normal ones. Inclusive education is the system of integrating differentially abled, marginalised groups, disabled students and disadvantaged groups who are traditionally excluded with the normal students so that the learning needs of all types of students can be met and a uniform system of education can be formed in the country. Despite various policies and numerous reformations in the system by the government, Indian schools are still struggling with the mainstreaming and inclusion, lack proper implementation, and resources. This paper is a step towards knowing the present status of inclusive education in India, steps taken by the government, and various policies and research undertaken to address the needs of underrepresented groups in the system.
