Inclusive Education and Digital Technology

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 emphasizes digital technology as a transformative force to achieve inclusive and equitable education. By leveraging ICT, assistive technologies, open educational resources, and multilingual digital content, the policy ensures access for diverse learners, including children with disabilities, those from rural and marginalized backgrounds, and first-generation learners. Furthermore, NEP 2020 emphasizes the creation of robust digital infrastructure in schools, continuous teacher training in techno-pedagogical approaches, and the integration of blended and online learning models to ensure resilience in times of disruption, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through adaptive learning systems, AI-enabled personalization, and interactive platforms, digital technology becomes an equalizer that democratizes access to knowledge, nurtures holistic development, and supports lifelong learning. Thus, the policy highlights the pivotal role of technology in creating an education system where no learner is left behind and every child has the opportunity to thrive in a future-ready, knowledge-driven society.

Aligned with the vision of the National Education Policy 2020, CIET-NCERT is organising a five hours online training series titled “Inclusive Education and Digital Technology”. Keeping the expertise in view, we have collaborated with Department of Education of Groups with Special Needs (DEGSN), NCERT for the online training series on “Inclusive Education and Digital Technology” from 18 - 22 August, 2025 in English version and 25 - 29 August, 2025 in Hindi version from 4 PM to 5 PM.

The sessions will be broadcast live on NCERT’s YouTube Channel and simulcast on PM eVidya DTH TV Channels (6 to 12) and the Jio TV mobile app. Participants will also be able to access recorded sessions through a dedicated YouTube playlist, allowing them to revisit essential pedagogical concepts and instructional strategies at their convenience.

After completion of the training series, the learner will be able to:

1. Identify and use assistive technologies for inclusive learning.
