Inclusiveness of education ensures that a normal student and a disabled person get equal opportunities to get education to meet special educational needs. Through inclusive education, an attempt is made to provide some more help to the special children along with the normal children in the normal school. Taking this objective forward, under Rajiv Gandhi Education Mission, Raigad Samagra Shiksha, children with disabilities are being prepared to face the challenges of life by giving physiotherapy and speech therapy in 9 development blocks. This has instilled new confidence in their mind and children are becoming capable of learning new dimensions of education. Physically mentally challenged children have to face difficult challenges step by step in getting education with normal life. It is necessary to lead these children to lead a self-reliant life, so that they can live a dignified life by mingling in the society. With this thinking, the state government is trying to provide equal education opportunity and positive impactful environment to the children with disabilities through inclusive quality education. Therapists have been appointed. Both the therapists visit all the 09 blocks on rotation basis.
