Impact of Information and Communication Technologies on Agricultural Education

The present paper highlights the availability, awareness and usage of information and communication technology (ICT) among students of Agricultural Universities in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The results revealed that most of the students had the access to ICT tools like projector, computer, University website and mobile, but the tools like e-portfolio, teleconference, videoconference and digital student report card system were not available to most of the students in agricultural colleges. Student's awareness of ICT tools is same as that of availability. Most of the agricultural students were using mobile daily, but occasionally used the computer and projector. Majority of the students had improved their capabilities in concept understanding, academic performance, employment opportunities and higher education opportunities.
