Abstract
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 emphasizes inclusive education as a fundamental principle to ensure equitable learning opportunities for all students. This study explores how teacher education programs can prepare educators to create socially inclusive classrooms. It examines the role of teacher training, pedagogical strategies, and policy support in fostering inclusive teaching practices. Through surveys and data analysis, the research identifies key challenges and best practices in implementing inclusive education, ultimately offering recommendations for strengthening teacher preparation programs under NEP 2020.
