Abstract: In recent years, the terms social exclusion and social inclusion have been widely discussed across different sectors of society, particularly in academic discourse among social scientists. Social exclusion refers to the process by which individuals or groups are wholly or partially prevented from fully participating in the society they live in. In contrast, social inclusion aims to ensure the active participation of all individuals in various social, economic, and political functions. Positive discrimination involves implementing special measures to uplift marginalized sections of society. As a tool for social inclusion, it plays a crucial role in addressing historical disadvantages and promoting the socio-economic development of excluded groups. This paper explores the role of positive discrimination policies in promoting the social inclusion and development of marginalized communities. The study relies on secondary data collected from various documentary sources, including books, journals, and research articles.
