ICT IN HIGHER EDUCATION

simply by repeating what other generations have done.” - Jean Piaget, Cognitive psychologist
Destiny of a nation is shaped in its educational institutes, as education is the key to
human progress and social change. Universities are institutions of excellence to promote the best
values and to provide leadership to the educated world and the society at large. They are
harbingers of ideas and idealism. Sam Pitroda , chairman of National Knowledge
Commission said "Higher education has been key to India's growth in the last couple of

education would play.”
