Abstract

Education plays an important role to realize one’s full potential, creating society and advancing national progress. The New Education Policies foresee significant technologically assisted reforms to the educational sector. India is the global leader in ICTs (information and communication technology) and other cutting-edge disciplines. The Digital India Campaign is playing a significant role in the nation's transformation toward a digitally empowered knowledge economy and society. While education will be essential to this change, technology itself will also have a significant impact on how well educational procedures and results are carried out. Thus, there is a reciprocal relationship at all educational levels between technology and education. The way education is provided and received is changing drastically because of the widespread use of digital technology in recent years. The dissemination of instructional programs is becoming better every day as education becomes more digital. Nevertheless, unless the digital divide is closed, the advantages of online and digital learning cannot be fully realized. It is crucial that the employment of technology in digital and online learning sufficiently meets equality problems. This paper explores the current developments in digital education in India, the challenges and recommendations for acquiring equitable digital education, and the need for equal access to technology in order to close the digital divide.
