Introduction

The Centre for Disability Studies and Action, School of Social Work, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai; the Springdale School, Pusa Road, New Delhi and the Brotherhood, Delhi have been organising National / International Conferences on Inclusive Education.  The purpose is to promote Inclusive education based on researches, evidence based practices, innovations & inventions and use of ICT and Assistive Technologies being generated by practitioners working in inclusive settings.

Seven national conferences (one each at TISS Mumbai, Goa, Delhi, Patiala, Baroda, Shimla and Bangalore) and one international conference (TISS Mumbai) have already been organised in a span of 30 months.  Approximately 150 papers were presented by the practitioners from India and other countries.  Based on these papers four books with ISBN have been published.  Thus, this conference is not an event, but it is a process and a platform for learning and sharing.
