Abstract
To ensure that everyone has access to education, the Indian government has launched numerous laws and programmes. Children with specific needs are given special attention in integrated education, special education, and inclusive education. All young learners, including those with and without impairments, are expected to be able to learn together through access to common pre-schools and schools with the necessary infrastructure of support services. The goal of this study is to determine how elementary school teachers in the Chamarajnagar District assess their own and other teachers’ competencies for inclusive education for children with special needs in relation to gender and prior teaching experience.

According to the statistical findings, there was a substantial disparity in the abilities of male and female primary school instructors to provide inclusive instruction for CWSN. When compared to male teachers working in Chamarajnagar District, female elementary teachers demonstrated greater competences for CWSN’s Inclusive Education.

Therefore, it is important to give teachers the proper training to deal with the diverse needs of the learners, apply appropriate individualised pedagogy, and use appropriate
