When did the integrated education programme start in India?

When did the integrated education programme start in India? Correct Answer 1981 to 1990

The word education comes from the Latin word "Educare" which means to mold or to train. It is more concerned with the upbringing of a child to give him knowledge, skills, morals, values, by enriching his personality and by helping him in holistic development.

Key Points

  • Integrated education includes the education of disabled children with normal children in a natural teaching-learning environment.
  • Integrated Education of the Disabled Children (IEDC) scheme was launched in 1974 but in India the integrated education program was started in 1987.
  • This programme was an outcome of the National Policy of Education 1986 to provide equal access and opportunities to all children.
  • In this program, normal children with disabled children learn and study together in the proper natural learning environment.
  • Integration also means "mainstreaming" or "normalization" which means bringing disabled children into mainstream education.
  • It helps to remove the inferiority complex among disabled children and gives them a chance to enjoy their school life with normal children.
  • It ensures the social integration of disabled children and gives them the confidence to face problems and challenges with the help of peers.

Hence, it could be concluded that in India, the integrated education program was started in 1981-1990.
