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.
