Indian Society has rich diversity in terms of religion, caste and culture which is characterized by social division and this may lead to inequalities and create barriers to access the important resources to disadvantaged section of the society. These sections include Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribes, other backward classes, women, minorities and differently abled persons. Education is an important instrument of social control which enriches human life. materially as well as culturally.
Education at grassroots level means freedom from ignorance which leads to freedom from exploitation and oppression. In this way, education is an important resource which must be distributed equally in terms of opportunities as its acquisition opens up other material resources such as wealth, status and excellence. So it-is rightly desirable to make education system inclusive and should be responsive to the needs and constraint of the disadvantaged social groups.
