governed by the provisions of the Affiliation Bye Laws of
the Board which provide that every school shall promote
inclusion of student with disabilities/ special needs in the
normal school as per provisions of the `Persons with
Disabilities Act, 1995` and in conformity with `National
Policy on Education`.
Further, the Scheme of Inclusive Education for the
Disabled at Secondary State (IEDSS) has been implemented
with a view that disabled children passing out of elementary
school will be able to study in secondary schools in an
inclusive environment. This incorporates children with
autistic, dyslexia and other problems.
(b) & (c): No reservation policy is laid out.
