A network for inclusive education, rooted in India
Think deeply.
Include everyone.
Includiatrust gathers student voices, guest teacher insight, and the ideas of India’s great thinkers into one place — building a more inclusive, just, and aware society, one essay at a time, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.
“Inclusion is not a program to run — it is a habit of mind. In a country of a thousand languages and a hundred faiths, every essay, every classroom story, every quoted thinker on this page exists to make that habit a little easier to practice.” — Includiatrust editorial note

Founder, IncludiatrustPriyaranjan has taught across Bihar, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Meghalaya, and is now teaching in Andhra Pradesh. Includiatrust grew out of that classroom-to-classroom journey — a shared home for student voices, guest teachers, and India’s great thinkers to think deeply about inclusion and act on it, essay by essay.

“Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man.” Every Includiatrust essay starts from that premise — that inclusion in an Indian classroom means room for every language, caste, gender, and ability at the same table.
Our writing engages directly with the National Education Policy 2020’s push for equitable, multilingual, and accessible schooling, and with the constitutional promise of Article 21A — the right to education for every child aged 6 to 14.

Reader feedback
What people are saying
Notes from educators and readers who use Includiatrust in their own classrooms and reading lists.
“The Creative Corner gave my students a real audience for their writing. That changed how seriously they took the work.”
“I use the Great Thinkers series as discussion starters — short enough to read aloud, meaty enough to argue about.”
“Clear, thoughtful, and never preachy. It’s the rare inclusion resource that trusts the reader to think for themselves.”
