productivity makes the educational institutions to rethink and revise their programs. A brief
account of the efforts made in India by IGNOU is mentioned. Emphasizes the need for
Internet Technology mastering and concludes that the situation in India is not that
attractive in using the Internet for education. Hopes that the IT Task Force may improve
