Abstract : The digital revolution has significantly impacted education, making it more inclusive and participatory. In India, digital and live virtual classrooms have become more common. The innovative audio-video features in digital education boost cognitive elements in children, making learning fun and effective. The INFO-TAINMENT combination makes it practical and relatable. With technological advancements like the cloud, virtual data centres, and virtualization, there is potential for technology integration in the education industry. Digital education is a campaign initiated by the Indian Government to move towards a new direction and ensure that education services are made accessible electronically to a student through enhanced online infrastructure. However, the accessibility of digital education in rural India has many hurdles some of which are discussed in detail.  Methodology : This paper is focused largely on both primary and secondary data. Primary data is collected primarily from the education sector by lectures and students (N=125) about how much they like emerging technologies. For secondary data, a review of the literature is implicated.  Result and Conclusion: Since changes are happening anyway, the best thing is to know more about them, so we can lay hold of them and turn them in the direction of our wishes. Overall, the paper highlights the paradigm shift in the Indian education Industry towards digital education, the challenges related to accessibility, affordability, and quality, as well as the potential benefits such as increased access to quality education and personalised learning experiences and the results of the survey are discussed.
