The success of Indian enterprises and professionals in the computer and
information technology (CIT) domain during the twenty year has been spectacular.
Entrepreneurs, bureaucrats and technocrats are now advancing views about how
India can ride CIT bandwagon and leapfrog into a knowledge-based economy in the
area of entrepreneurship distance education on-line. Isolated instances of remotely
located villagers sending and receiving email messages, effective application of
mobile communications and surfing the Internet are being promoted as examples
of how the nation can achieve this transformation, while vanquishing socioeconomic
challenges such as illiteracy, high growth of population, poverty, and the
digital divide along the way. Likewise, even while a small fraction of the urban
population in India has access to computers and the Internet, e-governance is
being projected as the way of the future. There is no dearth of fascinating stories
about CIT enabled changes, yet there is little discussion about whether such
changes are effective and sustainable in the absence of the basic infrastructure that
is accessible to the citizens of more advanced economies. When used appropriately,
different CITs are said to help expand access to entrepreneurship distance
education, strengthen the relevance of education to the increasingly digital
workplace, and raise technical and managerial educational quality by, among
others, helping make teaching and learning into an engaging, active process
connected to real life. This research paper investigates on the impact of computer
based online entrepreneurship distance education in India.
