Realising the benefits of children with special needs studying together with other children in general class rooms and such a system not yet in place in our State, the need was strongly felt that JSS itself should take on the task of a model of inclusive educational programmes for ALL CHILDREN. In 2006, the step was taken on an experimental basis and as of date, the system is functioning satisfactorily. In 2009 the school has an enrolment of 170, half of which are children with no special needs. Further complying with the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005, the school admits children:
- with special needs because of disability; from difficult circumstances, orphaned and abandoned, street, slum and abused children.
- from disadvantaged groups – semi rural, families in BPL category.
Education is provided to every child according to his individual needs.
