Abstract: Many efforts have been made by the Government of India and the voluntary sector in the field of inclusive education in the Post -Independence period but still the schools in India are not completely ready to provide inclusive education because of lack of trained teachers and lack of proper equipments for disabled children. Another major problem is the mind set of guardians who feel that inclusive education will not have challenges for their peers and also will not provide opportunities to develop their capacities further. Present study describes inclusive education and has presented the opinion of guardians of some students about inclusive education in India.
