Bridging the Digital Divide: Feasibility of E-Learning Implementation in Government Colleges of Arunachal Pradesh

Abstract Abstract
This study investigates the feasibility of implementing e-learning delivery processes and materials in government colleges across Arunachal Pradesh, a region marked by geographical remoteness, limited infrastructure, and stark digital divides. Despite the nationwide push for digital education through platforms like SWAYAM, DIKSHA, and the National Mission on Education through ICT (NMEICT), the penetration and effectiveness of these initiatives remain uneven in India’s Northeastern frontier. The research adopts a thematic, mixed-method approach involving faculty interviews, institutional reports, and infrastructure audits across 15 government colleges. Findings reveal that while digital awareness is growing, persistent challenges such as unstable internet connectivity, lack of digital infrastructure, low teacher preparedness, and socio-economic disparities among students impede progress. In response, the study proposes the “LITE” Framework—Localized Content, Infrastructure-Lite Tools, Teacher Support, and Engagement Monitoring—as a pragmatic model for e-learning in low-resource settings. The research concludes that bridging the digital gap in higher education requires region-sensitive models, targeted investments, and collaborative governance to ensure that no learner is left behind in the digital revolution.
