The National Education Policy 2020 says that teachers should be trained to understand the needs of all students and to be able to teach in a way that includes everyone. Many teachers do not know how to do this, especially when it comes to students from different castes, classes, genders and abilities. This paper says that teachers need to be trained not only to teach in an inclusive way but also to understand how power and privilege affect what happens in the classroom. When teachers are well-trained and supported, they can be really powerful in creating change. They can make the classroom a place where all students feel welcome and valued. This study looked at how teachers can be motivated and supported to teach in a certain way. It found that when teachers are able to work and support each other, they are more likely to be successful. The study used interviews with 25 teachers and teacher educators from West Bengal to gather information. Thematic coding was employed to examine the challenges and strategies associated with inclusive teaching. The results of the study show that when teachers are empowered, they are better able to create classrooms. This happens when teachers can work and when they receive training that is relevant to their needs. The National Education Policy 2020 and teacher empowerment are closely linked. The National Education Policy 2020 and inclusive education are topics in India, and this study adds to our understanding of how teachers can be supported to create inclusive classrooms.
