AbstractThe power of democracy rests in the hands of citizens who have access to accurate information. The common man now has access to global information thanks to advancements in information technology (IT). Oral communication, voice in telephony, text in faxes and newspapers, images in video and television broadcasting, and data in computers all fall under the umbrella of "information" in a broader sense. Everything can be digitally transcribed, stored, retrieved, altered, then distributed. There are several new technological trends in the development of electronic communication systems. These include the use of emerging digital techniques, new types of networks, including intelligent networks, high bandwidth communication, and cutting-edge software for network functions and services. Global "information society" is rapidly altering the way people live, learn, work, and interact with one another. The free flow of information and ideas has brought knowledge and its myriad applications to many millions of people, creating new choices and opportunities in some of the most important realms of human endeavours. A strong society is built on the foundation of education. All aspects of the nation are enriched by a well educated populace. Educational institutions cannot function without the use of modern information and communication technologies (ICTs). It has affected a number of aspects of their lives. Educational institutions, administrators and teachers were forced to re-evaluate their roles, teaching methods and long term vision as a result of these changes. Corona's pandemic has been aided by the use of ICT. This study focuses on the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in education to improve teaching and learning. To empower Indian rural communities to gain access to information, knowledge, and poverty alleviation through the use of ICTs, the paper examines the factors that prevent rural communities from reaping the benefits of these technologies.
