India is a successful model for the growth of E-Education and Information Technology. In India, E-Education in the Information Technology sector is vital. With technologies evolving ever faster, people are required to learn new skills with the prominence of E-Education in India. With the number of colleges and equally well-managed government schools, the information technology in education has been offered to the people as a social need and this has helped in bringing out the top class professionals in India. In India, computer literacy rate is going up. E-Education can bring out and converge the nation to grow up to the extent of Electronic Information. The overall theme is, the steps required to be taken up by the government to ensure enabling and empowerment of people to facilitate mass scale spread of information technology and its benefits to the country. This paper focuses on E-Education, which leads to the formation of E-Government. E-Education focuses on rural masses, and their standards of living. Working group of information technology has come out with the idea of promoting IT education to the rural masses. Keeping IT awareness on education will motivate the people to form a digital environment, which helps in the formation of E-Government.

India lives in villages and no development effort, including IT, which leads to development, can be successful unless it addresses rural areas and its people. Ministry of Rural Development (MORD), Government of India, sponsors various developmental schemes that aim at improving the standard of living of the people in rural areas .

The IT task force has recommended the development of the cooperative movement through the use of state-of-the-art information technology. The primary objective of the project is to demonstrate the effective contribution of an IT infrastructure in the accelerated socioeconomic development .The information technology has assumed an aura of inevitability, primarily because the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has emerged as a better, speedier and cost effective means for providing access to information literacy, knowledge management and dissemination tool.
