Abstract: Inclusive education is a fundamental principle that seeks to ensure equal educational opportunities for all students, including those from marginalized communities. In India, Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) students have historically faced significant barriers to education, such as social exclusion, economic deprivation, and lack of access to quality educational resources. This research article examines the policies, practices, and progress of inclusive education for SC and ST students in India. By evaluating key government initiatives and assessing the effectiveness of these measures, the study aims to understand the current state of inclusive education for SC and ST students and to suggest improvements for greater educational equity. The need for inclusive education is particularly crucial for marginalized communities, such as Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST), who have historically faced discrimination, social exclusion, and limited access to resources. The educational policies and practices aimed at integrating SC and ST students into the mainstream education system have made significant strides over the years.
