Introduction
Informationandcommunicationstechnology
or information and communication technology, usu-
ally abbreviated as ICT, is often used as an extended
synonym for information technology (IT). ICT con-
sists of IT as well as telecommunication, broadcast
media, all types of audio and video processing and
transmission and network based control and monitor-
ing functions. The term ICT is now also used to refer
to the mergingofaudio-visualand telephonenetworks
with computer networks through a single cabling or
link system. ICTs use is depends on the services pro-
vided to the group or country, which is based on In-
come, geographical location, education, age, gender
are some of the factors.
While the impact of ICT on sectors such as
banking,tourism,medicine,engineeringetc.havebeen
enormous, the uptake of ICT in education is fraught
withdifficulties.Lackoffunding,trainingamongprac-

ers to adopt ICT as teaching tools impede the required
uptake of ICT in education.

Information and communication technology (ICT) has brought about a revolution in every walk of Today's life. Particularly
it has become an integral part of education and its impact on teaching and learning is widely accepted. Computer literacy,
internet knowledge and mobile use are one of the major parts of student's life. But it has been seen that ICT is mostly favored
by the students of other discipline as compared to arts discipline. Even in the Indian content, the boys are much more aware
about it. They know about the internet as well as Wi-Fi and mobile use also. But the students of arts discipline especially
the girls are not aware about use of ICT. This study will reflect why there is less use of ICT; how it can be increase the level
of usage among the girl students of arts discipline in Gujarat.

ICT is yet to be used significantly for the delivery of

The University Grants Commission (UGC), the apex
body responsible for maintaining standards in higher
education in India, has acknowledged the role of ICT
inimprovingteaching-learningparadigms,buildingnew
knowledge, collaborating with peers and in the gover-
nance of education in universities.

per the scheme of the central government, the 75 %

pay the 25 % of the amount which is supposed to be
paid by the state universities.

Theobjectivesofthestudy:
1.Assess the level of awareness about Internet among
graduate students in arts discipline.
2. Identify the various factors that affect the students'
use of Internet.
3. Know the students' awareness, perceptions and use
of the Internet and the reasons for not using ICT.
Analysis ofTheData
Generalprofileofthestudents
Students who participated in the study fall
under the age group of 18-20 years. Majority of them
(80% boys and 73% girls) live in Panchayat area.
Apart from the computer training received at school,
many respondents had also received specialized train-
ingfromprivatecomputercenters.Thespecializedtrain-
ingconsistsofofficePackages(MSWord,Excel).Stu-
dents most commonly use word processor to prepare
projectreports as wellas power point for presentation.
Amongthosewhowerefamiliarwithcomput-
ers,fewergirlshadusedtheInternet-60%girls.Internet
use is not promoted by educational institutions or
private institutions on which these students depend
for training. Thus, even though students, especially
girls, gain exposure to computers, they don't seem to
gain much insight into the use of computers for infor-
mation gathering and communication. It is widely be-
lieved that computer training enhances ones employ-
ability and publicity by private computer institutes
continues to hitch on this promise. Yet training in

We see that monthly parental income of 74%
is more than 10000rs. 23% of the respondent's family
income is 5000-10000rs. And remaining 3% respon-
dents' income is below 5000rs.
Academicprofileofthestudents
We did a profiling of the schooling and past
performance of the students who participated in the
study to find out patterns, if any, that suggest relation-
ships between academic performance and adoption of
ICT.

their medium of instruction at school. A profiling of
interests and other activities shows that, girls attach
great importance to studies as well as games/hobbies.
ExposuretoComputersandInternet
Another aspect that we looked into was the
extent of exposure the respondents had to Computers
and the Internet. Among those who took part in the
study, 54% girls had received training in computers
and knew basic office applications.

A large number of girls said that they did not
