In today’s word we must consider the objectives of education, the kind of technology infrastructure involved and facilitating policies to attain educational goal. Today India is the second largest market for e-learning after the US. ICT includes any communication device or application, encompassing: radio, television, cellular phones, computer, and network hardware and software, satellite systems etc. Learning through ICT can be classified in three main categories i.e. e’learning, Blended Learning, and Distance Learning. Notable initiatives towards this have been initiated in India. Apart from benefits its implementation is costly and integration into teaching is still in its infancy
