It could be before joining the service or during the service. In training session teachers were given theoretical and practical knowledge about how to deal with the students and how to teach them. In 21st century Proper teacher training is must. For pre-service teacher education most essential practical activity is practice teaching. Sandipkumar and Gopal Rana emphasis that the inclusive education system require more knowledgeable and highly skilled teacher. The most effective way to improve the quality and effectiveness of education programme for inclusive setting is to reach pre-service teachers and teachers educators. There is need for strengthening knowledge competencies, skills and attitude of teacher for creating inclusive learning environment in the natural setting. Although the work can be challenging at times, it can also be satisfying to help children reach their full potential and see them prosper. For developments of theoretical and practical knowledge teacher should take different courses for teacher education –integrated(dual degree) special education courses- D.Ed special education courses, B.Ed special education programs, M.Ed. special education programs etc. Differently Abled Children: Disability means any permanent lose of the function of the particular organ to the extent that the individual cannot fully participate in the vocational and social pursuits. For these disabilities children become handicapped. These disabilities includes physical, mental, intellectual etc. Earlier those children who has different problem in their physical mental and in intellectual part they were called as disabled children but the term disability was replace as differently abled children. Person with disabilities Act, 1995 ensures equal opportunities for people with disabilities and provide education, employment and vocational training for them. According to the census report of 2001, the differently abled population of the country was estimated to be over 21 million, which was 2.1% of total population of the country. In 2011, differently abled children was increased by almost 27 million, which was 22.4% between 2001-2011. Differently abled means given focus on their abilities rather than their disabilities. Every child with a disabilities has strength. These children may be talented by other side except teaching and learning. Therefore it is more important for us to focus on what children can do, their abilities rather than their disabilities. This step may help them to develop their personality and find out their innate abilities which will help them to become self-reliant. Inclusive Classroom (education):Inclusive classroom means where both the normal and disabled children learn together in the same classroom, in the same schools. It implies all learners with or without disabilities being able to learn together through access to common pre-school provisions, schools and community educational setting with an appropriate network of support service. In the very first time Kothari commission in 1966 had highlighted the importance of given education to the children with disabilities in regular normal classroom. In 1974 Government of India launched the Integrated Education for Hndicapped Children (IEDC) Programme, which was first formal step towards inclusion. Inclusive education for CWSN has been one of the major intervention of the erstwhile Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan(SSA), Right To Education Act(RTE), AND Rashtriya Madhomik Shiksha Abhiyan(RMSA). SamagraShiksha also gave importance on improving the quality of education for all children, including Children With Special Need (CWSN). Now NEP (2020) Also give emphasis on inclusive education, all children whether they are special or normal all children should be thought in the same classroom and same environment without discrimination. The NEP (2020) envisages Equitable and Inclusive Education for all.
