Technologies have had significant inputs on people's lives during the twentieth century, but none was seen as profound as Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in human society. ICT in India is a comparatively recent term of origin and it had great significance in setting priorities in organizational developments of different sectors. The ICT is considered as a convenient tool to reach out the process of intended national development. The challenge of directing fast pace of socio-economic changes within the framework of available time and resources could be possible only if the required ICT is properly disseminated. Thus ICT is considered as a prime factor for the developing countries.
