IMPLEMENTING INCLUSIVE PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN INDIA: SOCIO – LEGAL ISSUES AND CONCERNS
(2023) Kamat, Sonia
The principle of inclusive education is now considered as fundamental for the holistic development of Children with Special Needs. It is an approach which seeks to adapt the environment in regular schools to suit the needs of CWSN. This helps in sustainable development of not just children with disabilities but is also beneficial for children without disabilities. Segregation of schools tend to inhibit the progress of children. On the other hand integration involves just mixing of two categories of children without giving any opportunity to grow together as the environment is not comfortable and equitable for beneficial growth of CWSN. As such, inclusive education promotes healthy development. Inclusive physical education is also a major requirement to meet the needs of CWSN. sports and physical activity are equally important for CWSN as they are for children without disability. Much is needed to improvise upon the curriculum, learning amd teaching pedagogies and methodologies and adapt upon the infrastructural environment which will assist CWSN to boost their physical activity skills. In the present article, attempt is made to understand and analyze the theoretical basis of the concept of Inclusive Physical education. The article also analyzes the legal provisions pertaining to inclusive education in India. Finally suggestions are made for successful implementation of inclusive physical education in schools which will go a long way in benefitting CWSN if enforced properly.

Hence, creating a favourable climate for women’s active participation in the economic growth is an essential component of women empowerment. The Government of India has started various schemes for the upliftment of women especially for their social and economic growth. One of the schemes initiated by the Central Government in the year 2020 for the benefit of women in the micro food processing industry is the Prime Minister’s Scheme for Formalization of Micro Food Processing Enterprises.
