In recent years, the concept of inclusive growth has gained significant attention worldwide, as nations strive to ensure that economic progress benefits all sections of society. India, as a developing country with a diverse population and varying levels of socioeconomic disparities, recognizes the importance of inclusive growth in achieving sustainable and equitable development. Within this context, commerce education has emerged as a crucial catalyst in driving inclusive growth in India. This paper aims to explore the role of commerce education in facilitating inclusive growth in India. It begins by providing an overview of inclusive growth, emphasizing its significance for emerging economies like India. The paper then delves into the multifaceted dimensions of commerce education and its relevance in shaping an inclusive economy. Commerce education equips individuals with a comprehensive understanding of business principles, financial management, entrepreneurship, and market dynamics. By imparting practical skills and knowledge, commerce education empowers individuals to participate actively in economic activities, thereby fostering inclusive growth. Moreover, commerce education nurtures an entrepreneurial mindset, encouraging individuals to identify opportunities and create employment for themselves and others, particularly in marginalized communities. Furthermore, the paper highlights the impact of commerce education in promoting financial literacy among individuals, which is crucial for their financial inclusion. Financial literacy enables individuals to make informed decisions regarding savings, investments, and access to financial services, leading to enhanced economic participation and wealth creation. In this way, commerce education acts as a tool for empowering individuals and bridging the gap between the economically privileged and marginalized sections of society.
