Ms. Aishwarya Bhati, learned Additional Advocate General appearing for the State of U.P. relying on the affidavit and the instructions has submitted that sixteen special schools have already been established and the teachers have been appointed and presently the schools are functional. The special schools are imparting education to visually impaired, hearing and speech impaired, mentally disabled and physically disabled children. It is submitted by her that the schools have residential facilities and they also admit students who belong to non-residential category. A chart has been filed indicating to the said effect. 3.

At this juncture, learned counsel for the petitioners have drawn our attention to Section 2(m) of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 (for short, `the 2016 Act'). The said provision defines "inclusive education", which reads as follows:- "'inclusive education' means a system of education wherein students with and without disability learn together and the system of teaching and learning is suitably adapted to meet the learning needs of different types of students with disabilities". 5. Learned counsel have also commended us to Section 16, which reads as follows:- "16. 5. Learned counsel have also commended us to Section 16, which reads as follows:- "16.
