e-Education in India – Still a long way to go

In India we all have been noticing the change in terms of e-Commerce bringing in all the sections or fields. Same shift is yet to be experienced in the e-Education field in India. Though in some of the sectors like Travel, Web retailing (e-Tailing), Trading and Banking has been noticeable but it’s not so in the case of Education sector in India. This term e-Education has been somewhat taken from the term or concept like e-Learning. Some of the initiatives towards e-Education are Pratham, India, eGurukool, India, Zee interactive, India , Schoolnet to name some.
Since e-Commerce is taking up in India speedily even this sector would be changing though this would for sure take some time since Internet usage in terms of transacting online apart from mailing or information searching is limited only to the elite urban areas. Once this Internet revolution is everywhere in India there would be a great change in the Education sector as well. This would further bring many and big changes in the way we learn and do things today in terms of education.
