Inclusive development is a term in contemporary usage which has derived its spirit from the Gandhian Concept of Sarvodaya, which means “upliftment of all”. It implies all initiatives that focus on the developmental needs of every category of humankind in which the participation of stakeholders in need identification, prioritisation and implementation of developmental initiatives is an essential feature. The term Education has to be understood beyond the act or process of imparting or acquiring particular knowledge or skills, as for a profession. National development cannot be viewed outside the context of inclusive development and other private and public initiatives are consequential in this regard. Developmental strategies can vary according to the socio-economic, cultural, geographical and political climate of the target group and locality, but under all circumstances, the role of education cannot be underestimated in materialising inclusive development. The form of education may vary from formal to informal, technical to conventional, empirical to theoretical but it is inevitable in the process of inclusive development.
