Abstract
To break the chains of inequality for access to education for marginalized groups across India and move toward an egalitarian society, where all people can live with dignity and fulfill their dreams, the need of the hour is to strengthen the education system and prepare teachers with secular and reformative thinking. This chapter attempts to examine the problems of various marginalized groups in Indian society and their educational provisions. This work also aims to analyze several issues and challenges related to preparing teachers for inclusive schools and to draw attention to the need to reframe and revise teacher education programs and enforce inclusive teacher education practices in India to promote inclusion.

Abstract
Purpose: Manufacturing has always been considered a backbone for economic growth. It has been considered an imperative sector in the growth of an economy. This study aims to trace the long-term relationship between gross domestic product (GDP) and manufacturing sector in the context of Indian economy.
Need for the study: According to research, the significance of the manufacturing sector is waning over time. This chapter studies the long-term relationship between the GDP, an indicator of growth, and the manufacturing sector. Over the last few decades, the contribution of manufacturing has been stagnant in the GDP of India.
Methodology: The decadal growth of various sectors in the GDP of India is studied using time series analysis. This study used the data released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MOSPI) from 1950–1951 to 2013–2014. The long-term relationship between the sector of manufacturing and the GDP is examined through the augmented Dicky–Fuller (ADF) test and auto-regressive distributed lag (ARDL) models.
Findings: The findings suggest that in the Indian scenario, there is no relationship for an extended period between the GDP and the manufacturing sector, which calls for further policy implications.
Practical implications: India, while having the world’s fastest-growing economy, must continue to take steps to attain high growth rates and long-term sustainability by reducing obstacles to the expansion of the service sector in addition to manufacturing. Manufacturing-led services are to be boosted through policy interventions.
