The Inclusive Development Philosophy is closely aligned with the Vasudhaiva Kutukbakam Mantra. Though, it seems impossible to follow this conception in the present scenario of tensions and terrorism but this notion has and is still inspiring India. The Government of India is celebrating 75 years of independence and commemorating its glorious history with the help of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. This initiative has been dedicated to those people who played instrumental role in evolutionary journey of India. This initiative further helps in visualising the conception of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam with greater resonance among the people in India as well as in world. Inclusive development guarantee not only the sustainable development but also make certain that the resources are distributed fairly and equally among all the stakeholders. Though, it is not an easy task for a developing and diverse country like India. It needs consistent efforts and hard work to bring all these people in the mainstream and to ensure the growth of all these people in all the parts of the country. An attempt has been made in this research paper to study the elements and dimensions of inclusive development and its relevance in India. The need to embrace the concept of inclusive development and processes have also been discussed in length. Inclusive development should be the target to achieve. The hindrances like gender inequality, income equality, regional disparities, poverty etc., need to be addressed efficiently and should be given more momentum. Government is already working in this direction and has taken several steps such as reforming governance, setting up new performance benchmarks, creating innovative partnerships and transforming the lives of people by implementing effective policies. These measures along with innovative partnerships at national and international level will definitely lead to the development of human capital, its progress indices and the position of India at global level. So, the need of the hour is frame and implement policies effectively as a step towards achievement of goal of inclusiveness which can ensure equal access to the opportunities and resources.
