Abstract
India’s National Population Policy says that India has 16 percent of the world population in only 2.4 percent of the global land area. Due to this current population problem, India’s power to generate non-literate individuals is much greater than other countries. India cannot afford the huge expenditure to procure the facilities provided in a conventional style to support the education system. Furthermore, the ongoing development in technological infrastructure has strengthened the base for telE-learning and teaching. Thus, physical distances are virtually vanishing and information and communication technologies (ICT) are becoming increasingly a vital tool for educational purposes. In this context, emergence of technological scenarios relevant to education in India are discussed in the present paper.
