Inclusive Education is the basic motive of CWSN Children. In view of the fact that children with disabilities form one of the largest groups that are still outside the fold of the general education system, the scheme provides an opportunity for children with disabilities, who have completed eight years of elementary education to continue their education in regular schools at the secondary level in inclusive environment. DMKK has been running a CWSN home, named ‘Jamuna Balika Abash’ for Children (girls) With Special Needs (CWSN) below 18 years of age under JJ Act 2015 in association with Women and Child Development and Social Welfare Department, Govt. of West Bengal under CPS programme, Ministry of Women and Child Development, Govt. of India. 20 special children reside there. Out of 20 children, 18 children have been admitted general schools i.e. Dantan Bhagbat Charan High School, Dantan Binapani Girls School (HS) & Chaulia MSK in different classes. They children go to school 3 days in a week. They attend day care centre in another 3 days. Besides general education they are given special training on Drawing, Dancing, Yoga and vocational courses. Some of the children participate in different competitions and stand position during the year.
