Abstract

This article explores the necessity for HEIs to promote inclusiveness for the differently abled community with a focus on the leadership and innovation roles. HEIs need to adopt, embrace and embed inclusivity measures to cater to different needs of learners. Leadership forms a crucial force that initiates and continues inclusive practices, creating an environment of empathy, understanding, and support among the HEI communities. By promoting inclusive education, HEIs fulfil their ethical and moral responsibilities and support the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially in areas of quality education (SDG 4) and reduced inequalities (SDG 10). This article supports a comprehensive approach to inclusiveness in HEIs, regarding it as indispensable in attaining wider social development and sustainable progress. The article addresses the much-ignored and long-shed topic of addressing teaching-learning of the differently abled, in the higher education echelons.
