Abstract
After years of mandatory remote education, there is still a question that remains to be answered: “Is the online medium inclusive enough to be deemed a solution?” As classrooms relocate to online environments and pedagogies rely on technologies, it becomes imperative to ensure that no one is left behind and education remains accessible to every learner. The issue of the universality of access to technological resources in India mingles with various socio-economic disparities that hinder the successful implementation of online education. This chapter attempts to analyze and bring forward the factors that may contribute to the stark contrasts regarding the practicality of the online education scene in India, including accessibility, gender, socio-economic factors, and policy issues. In mitigating the impact of an educational disruption (e.g., global health crisis) as well as the future adoption of online instruction, this chapter summarized the topics that need addressing into themes: content understanding, learning outcomes, technological, pedagogical, and behavioral.

Service Learning: The Essence of Social Inclusivity Through Transformational Education
This concept is associated with the all-encompassing, undivided, across-the-board embracing tolerance to all and is unbiased as to gender, creed, ethnicity. Inclusion reinforces the bonds of friendship within and outside the labor market and is the basis of gains in productivity and better performance. At the same time, it reforms social sustainability and helps to solve the problems and desires, both personal and organizational. But, in the current economic and social environment, the labor market signals cross-sectoral and non-specific competences as strategic for the performance of a function and to strengthen the relationships between individuals. By humanizing the educational processes, the economy and society, the values of solidarity, cooperation, tolerance and respect are underlined and highly appreciated. These lead to intrapersonal and interpersonal development, which facilitates the integration of people into groups and into society. Respecting the “other” and demonstrating “solidarity” produces a sense of acceptance. Therefore, if society and the education system educate for and in values will be fighting against exclusion. This translates into a structuring instrument of inclusion because it promotes social cohesion, spatial development, employability, personal and social stability. To be a more inclusive society, humanizing society is an obligation, because people talk about their feelings, their concerns, difficulties, successes and joys. A more inclusive society is more sensitive to defend the most vulnerable and the most. At the same time, it reduces social asymmetries and economic inequalities. Therefore, educating with sensitivity and sensitivity is to educate for inclusion in order to obtain a more social, cooperative, more dialogical and more fraternal economy.
