Inclusive Education (IE) is a new approach towards educating the children with disability and learning difficulties with that of normal ones within the same roof.It brings all students together in one classroom and community, regardless of their strengths or weaknesses in any area, and seeks to maximize the potential of all students.It is one of the most effective ways in which to promote an inclusive and tolerant society. It is known that 73 million children of primary school age were out of school in 2010, down from a high of over 110 million out-of-school children in the mid-1990s, according to new estimates by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS). About Eighty percent of Indian population lives in rural areas without provision for special schools. It means, there are an estimated 8 million children out of school in India (MHRD 2009 statistics), many of whom are marginalised by dimensions such as poverty, gender, disability, and caste. Today, what are the needs and challenges for achieving the goal of inclusive education? How will an inclusive environment meet the needs of children with disabilities? How quality education can be effectively and efficiently delivered for all children? Therefore, inclusive schools have to address the needs of all children in every community and the central and state governments have to manage inclusive classrooms. Keeping in view these questions, this article discusses in detail the concept of inclusive education, including importance, challenges and measures to implement inclusive education in India.
Key words: Inclusive Education,Children with special needs, Disabilities, Inclusion

Parents are an essential part of their Childs environment. Adults need to have a positive view of them (self concept) and serve as role model for their children. Self awareness is another key part of child\'s development. This is why the parents’ ability to provide wings is so important. In order to succeed, children need to gain confidence in their abilities and gain a sense that they can do things on their own. The precious time between birth and maturity gives parents many opportunities to balance roots and wings. Parents can lead the way in providing experiences that enhance their children view of themselves. This way parents can builds self esteem in their children and themselves in order to improve the quality of their lives and strengthen family relationship.
Home environment not only influences the academic achievement but also affects the mental condition of a child. On one hand, congenial home environment supports a child to maintain a good mental health and uncongenial home environment forces her to develop several unpleasant mental conditions, like, tension, anxiety, stress etc., which leads to her poor academic performance.

Administrative discretion is need and inclusive growth is the purpose. It must be the slogan and aim of every country. Administrative discretion can become curse for the country if it transform in arbitrariness. Administrative discretion is useless if it unsuccessful to get the inclusive growth. Mostly countries had adopted the concept of welfare state. To fulfill this purpose administration had required for some discretion. Administrative discretion is a means to get the aim of welfare state. India also had adopted the welfare concept. So the power of administrative discretion had also conferred for administrative officers. Administrative discretion was given to get the inclusive growth. I want to say through my paper that administrative discretion and inclusive growth both are going to parallel in India. There are many problems in sits way e.i. corruption, misbehavior, negligence and arbitrariness. Professor Dicey thought that administrative discretion is against Equality, and it becomes the cause of arbitrariness, discrimination and unjust so the purpose of inclusive growth may be fail. Key Words- Arbitrariness, Discretion, Welfare, Ministerial Action, Rule of Law.

Background: Schizophrenia is a chronic, disabling psychiatric disorder that poses numerous challenges to caregivers for its management and consequences. The disorder could give psychological distress and burden of care to the caregivers of the patients. Methods: To capture the distress and the burden, distress scale and burden assessment schedule were used to collect data from the caregivers of the male patients with paranoid schizophrenia. The schizophrenic patients had the symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, disordered (confused) thinking and speech, bizarre or disorganized behavior, self-neglect, and inappropriate emotions which disturbed both the patients and their caregivers. Demographic variables such as age, religion, income, education, number of children, occupation and condom usage, were collected from the caregivers.
Statistics: Percentage, and mean and standard deviation were used to analyze and interpret the collected data from the sample.

Financial Inclusion is considered to be the core objective of many developing nations like India.
Access to safe, easy and affordable credit and other financial services by the poor and weak groups in
deprived areas and lagging sectors is recognized as a pre-condition for accelerating growth and
reducing income disparities and poverty. Financial inclusion ensures the availability of banking
services at an affordable cost to disadvantaged and low-income groups. In India, the basic concept of
financial inclusion is having a savings or current account with any bank. In reality, it includes loans,
insurance services, and much more. Banking sector plays a considerable role in bringing financially
excluded people in to formal financial sector. In India, the primary responsibility of ensuring
financial inclusion lies with the commercial banks subject to guidelines of the central bank (RBI).
However, due to the gigantic size and diversity of population the commercial banks have been taking
the assistance of various social and financial entities like co-operative banks, regional rural banks
(RRBs), self-help groups (SHGs), joint liability groups, and other non-banking finance companies
(NBFCs). Commercial Banks in a country provides an opportunity for the people of that country to
participate in the formal financial system and to utilize financial services of formal financial system.
Larger the number of commercial banks, larger the scope for bringing people in to formal financial
system provided if banks provide suitable financial products and services. Therefore, the commercial
banks should adopt strong and urgent measures to reach the unbanked segment of society and unlock
their savings and investment potentials. The main objective of this paper is to understand the concept
of financial inclusion in Indian context. This paper makes an attempt to assess the role and efficacy of
commercial banks towards promoting financial inclusion in India.
Key Words: Financial Inclusion, Commercial Banks, Role of Commercial Banks
