In the modern age, information and communication technology has influenced all aspects of human life including education .Teacher education has been also influenced by the ICT. ICT is a powerful tool for problem solving, conceptual development and critical thinking that helps to make the learning process much easier for the trainee teacher. Das (2007) remarked that information and communication technology is an important instrument, which can transfer the present isolated, teacher-centred, book-centred learning environment into a rich student-centred environment. Actually the teaching-learning process has been transformed revolutionary with the growing application of ICT and thus the traditional teaching – learning system has been changed into modern ICT based teaching - learning system. Substantiating these trends, today‘s teaching-learning is being conducted through e-learning, mobile-learning, web-based learning, multi-media learning, etc. In this context the present paper focuses on the role of ICT based approaches in teacher education programme. This paper tries to highlight the integration of ICT in teacher education programme and its importance for the professional development of the teachers.
