Abstract

For decades, the education system in India has been facing severe challenges. Inadequacy of infrastructure, shortage of quality teachers and conducive environment for students are a few to mention. These challenges over the period have turned into the barriers, preventing the students from getting quality education, a basic requirement for developing skilled human resource for future. On the other hand the corresponding demand for skilled human resource from industry has been ever increasing. In such a scenario, the evolution of e-learning or online education has emerged as a viable solution to the problems of lakhs of people who do not have access to the quality education. This paper attempts to study the role of e-learning systems in improving the current education system in India and explore its prospects in the days to come.
