The level and impact of e-learning varies in our life from stage to stage. This paper focuses on the current situation of e-learning in India and its future. Here we also compare the growth rate of e-learning India with respect to other developed countries. Although e-learning has a potential in India , the adaption to this is very slow . Key Words: Blended e-learning, IBT 1. Introduction: E- Learning is defined as a acquisition of knowledge and skills using electronic technologies such as computer, internet based courseware and local and wide area network. E-learning is a way of providing training and development to the employees through various electronic media such as internet, audio, video. In a society, the student generation have to realized the importance of technology and have to be well aware how to teach the future leaders. Annually, the demand for higher education is growing globally and India is no exception to it. In fact, in India, the number of applicants is three to five times as against the number of seats in any institution of higher education. It can be also defined as a “Internet based Training (IBT)”. Therefore, need arises for such a system, which will help to reach to the maximum number of learners and „e-learning‟ is the solution for it. E-Learning is the experience that is delivered or enabled by electronic technology. The delivery of learning or content can be over the intranet, extranet or over the Internet, via CDROM, interactive TV, or satellite broadcast (WAGNER, 2008). With the passage of time, student‟s number is exploding on university campuses. Paragraph comes content here. Paragraph comes content here. Paragraph comes content here. Paragraph comes content here.

Scope of e-learning There are basically to parts or phases of e- learning. In one phase e-learning is used for educational purpose and at other level it is been used for training. The educational; use is limited to secondary and higher secondary level. In the second phase it is used to provide training to the employees and to upgrade their skills. E- learning is growing at very low rate in India as compared to international market where it is been used at all levels. In India if we can be able to make e-learning as a source of learning in rural areas then it is the easiest and fastest tool to educate people. If we consider the population in India it is hard to accommodate all the people in specific university or educational area o get the education 2.1 The Global eLearning Industry Market. The global eLearning Market is expected to reach $107 billion by 2015 [5]. The global self-paced eLearning market reached $32.1 billion in revenue in 2010 [3], with a five year compound annual growth rate of approximately 9.2%. This means that the self-paced eLearning market should see estimated revenues of $49.9 billion in 2015 [3]. 2.2 Top 10 Growth Rates By Country. Growth rate shows how each country adopts eLearning and is a significant indicator since it can reveal revenue opportunities. The growth rate of self-paced eLearning by country is [3]: 1. India: 55% 2. China: 52% 3. Malaysia: 41% 4. Romania: 38% 5. Poland: 28% 6. Czech Republic: 27%
