Abstract :

The earlier scheme of ‘Integrated Education for Disabled Children (IEDC) introduced in 70s was revised in 2009 as ‘Inclusive Education for Disabled at Secondary Stage (IEDSS). The scheme provided all the students with special needs completing eight years of elementary education, to complete four years of secondary education. At present the scheme is functioning for access education of the differently able under Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA). Here an attempt is made to know the status and implementation of education of the differently able at the secondary level and the role of Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) with special reference to Kamalpur Development Block of Assam.
