There is an immediate need for integrating ICT in school education, college education and teacher education. There should be feasible policies at the central government and state government level with respect to ICT in education. For integrating ICT in school education, it is necessary to strengthen ICT in teacher education. It is really a challenging task to strengthen ICT in teacher education because a large majority of the teacher education institutions are illequipped or underequipped with respect to ICT. Each teacher training institute needs to have an ICT laboratory having a server and adequate number of nodes with UPS and the required accessories to cater to the needs of teacher training on ICT. In addition to the above mentioned equipment, it is highly desirable to have multimedia systems, modem, lap-tops, digital cameras, optical scanners, LCD projectors, DVD, CD writers, DMP, Laser printers, TV, VCR, CDs, Panaboard and ICT learning resources. There should be a technician to maintain the ICT laboratory; courses should be organized by the lASES and University Departments (^ Education to train the teacher educators on ICT. ICT in education should be offered as a compulsory course at B.Ed, level and special area at M.Ed., level. ICT should be an essential component of the orientation and refresher courses offered by the Academic Staff Colleges and UGC refresher course resource centers.
