In India the policy of exclusion revolves around the social institutions, which is based on their identities for instance caste, religion, gender, which isolate, separate and exclude them (Thorat & Kumar, 2010). The social-economic structure of the society maintains this tradition of discrimination and exclusion. Therefore, thus, education can also not be seen at vacuum (Barten, 1999).Education is also manifestation of great Indian values of equity and cohesion. Education has the potential to play a key role in combating inequalities, exclusion and to lay the groundwork for a more equitable and inclusive society. The challenges are to ensure that educational systems are not only efficient but also inclusive. Inclusive means in terms of equal opportunities to access quality education and individual identity with their diverse backgrounds. Education system without appropriate measures to deal with this challenge can reinforce social exclusion. The question arises in front of us, that what kind of educational measures process of exclusion ? Due to the various steps taken at the policy level, today education is accessible to all, but can we say that they are accepted with their variegated identities, to which they belong? Are they socially included in education system? Are there any efforts made to accept their groups with their identities? In the proposed research, Education Policies would be studied in this content.
