We are, no doubt, quite habituated with Chalk and Talk method in our class. It is also practiced all over the world. But integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in our teaching-learning process, in our curriculum is an undeniable fact. It is not only the demand of the hour, National Assessment & Accreditation Council (NAAC) has made adopting ICT mandatory. Besides, for promotion or direct recruitment in superior position, now teachers need to furnish Academic Performance Indicator (API) that also provides points for the teachers who has integrated ICT in delivering their lectures. Thus embracing ICT not only benefits Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) but also facilitates teachers as well as preparing students for the 21st century and beyond. In today's world access, equity and quality are 3 cardinal principles to promote advancement of learning and higher education. I have divided my presentation in 3 parts-firstly I have given few introductory concepts, next, 7 practical steps to inculcate ICT in your college and thirdly, few important initiatives that have taken by the MHRD through its NMEICT project. In fact, ICT has changed our lives, the way we think, work, read and learn. Some people may think that ICT has changed everything which they may not be able to cope up with but this is not true because nothing has changed. Only the form, formats, storage and delivery mechanism have changed. We have to take our education to the next higher level to make our education globally competing and we have to connect with the world through exchanging our ideas and our resources. ICT has empowered us for better and improved communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity. ICT is change agent. These 4C's can change the higher educational scenario in our country in the years to come.

Development in an unprecedented way.Technological progress,
Infrastructure deployment, and falling prices have brought
unexpected growth in ICT access and connectivity to billions of
people around the world. In 2015 there are more than 7 billion
mobile cellular subscriptions worldwide, up from less than 1 billion

significant role in the post 2015 development agenda and in
achieving future sustainable development goals as the world moves
