Economy benefits of e-learning can be classified into two categories:

 

  1. The economic benefit of
  2. The economic benefits of high tech work

 

E-learning is key component of the large challenge of educating the next generation of workers for a new knowledge centered economy once degree holder are draw up for such placement the assertive effect of their education on the national economy will be evident after the economy has given rised to employment opportunities for them. This is the frequently challenge of developing countries requiring to generate jobs while educating a work force to pack those positions. At present these office worker want to upgrade themselves on other sense like huge data analytics and cloud computing better salary likes and promotions are also the reasons why people adopt new courses. A lot of startups are already setting their foot in what they think will be the next big thing in India after e-commerce.

In short a knowledge based economy is a developing economy. Technology investment result in greater GDP. Greater GDP outcome in more

 

technology financing. This consequences in a upstanding feedback arc ICT in education can decrease the cost of education per student by increasing the relative economic benefit of investment in education ICTs can deliver instruction in a more efficient, less expensive, or more accessible way (Clark, 1983) for example e-readers can allow children to access to thousands of booksat relatively cheap price once the reader has been purchased.

(C) Society Impact of E-learning

 

The impact of acquire education on individual members of society can be remarkable on the other side the raised skills, payment and employment consequence on degree holder, other effect of education contain, boost health and wellbeing, specially among girls and women societal impact shortly consider the impact of education mainly on society of developing countries and more approximately the relationship between e-learning and society.

Societal aspects such as being in a rural location, a female student or speaking a different language can all affect access to and use of e-learning program and their success. Although infrastructure is an analytical factor, the social context, education and technical knowledge of the sole user are also pivotal. The study setup a powerful co-relation among internet access and national economic development.

Else technical challenge that has forbid e-learning from being provided in rural areas has been scarcity of reliable electrical power. Meantime, e-learning technologies whether little hand held devices or projectors, require electrical power. In these location it is critical to design an efficient, low power e-learning system.

 

Conclusion:

 

With the Digital India Program’s Vision to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy, the education sector in India is poised to witness major growth in the years to come.
