education in colleges and as per the students perception they have positive view over it.

So the college should prefer more of it not only projector but also other sources
available for digital education which will reduce the time and the time can be utilised for
development of the students.

The problem faced by the students can be solved by providing leisure hours during the
class and also the colleges can take the help of the information technology persons to solve
the technical issues and as the technology is changing day by day the colleges must be
flexible to use the updated technology.

Conclusion:
As our country is based on a global perspective, we need to compete and collaborate
with the world for which the digital education acts as one of the important role. Most of the
students enjoy learning digital education. It helps in developing creativeness among the
students which will help the students to analyse and adopt the learning style.

It is evident that most of the students are well equipped with smart phones and have
access to internet, which makes it possible for them to develop their skills and help them in
innovative thinking.
