Many schools in India lack the necessary infrastructure and resources to support inclusive education. This includes accessible buildings, ramps, specialized teaching materials, and assistive technologies for students with disabilities.

Students with disabilities often face societal stigma and discrimination, which can result in exclusion from mainstream educational opportunities. Negative attitudes and misconceptions about disabilities can contribute to the isolation of these students.

There is a shortage of trained teachers and support staff who are equipped to cater to the diverse needs of students with disabilities. The absence of specialized training hampers the effective implementation of inclusive education practices.

Economic challenges, especially in lower-income families, may limit access to quality education. Families may struggle to afford expenses related to schooling, such as uniforms, textbooks, transportation, and other learning materials.

Rural areas often face challenges in providing inclusive education due to limited access to schools, transportation difficulties, and a lack of awareness about the importance of inclusive practices.

Students from linguistic minorities may encounter language barriers in the educational system. The lack of resources in regional languages can impede effective communication and understanding, making it difficult for these students to engage in the learning process.

Gender bias and stereotypes can impact access to education. In some cases, girls with disabilities may face double discrimination based on both gender and disability, making it challenging for them to access inclusive education.

While there are policies in place to promote inclusive education, there can be challenges in their effective implementation at the grassroots level. The gap between policy formulation and its execution can impede progress.

Many families are not aware of the benefits of inclusive education, and as a result, they may not seek inclusive opportunities for their children. Community awareness programs are essential to address this issue.

Certain cultural beliefs and practices may contribute to the exclusion of certain groups, including individuals with disabilities, from mainstream educational settings. Overcoming these cultural barriers requires a comprehensive approach.
