The ability to communicate is one of the defining characteristics of man. This emphasises the importance of gaining mastery over various languages. The New Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has underscored the significance of using native and regional languages as media of instruction at the primary school level and if feasible at the secondary school level as well. The policy encourages schools to teach three languages to the students out of which two must be national languages. NEP does not, as many think, detract from the significance of English language. It rather foregrounds the importance of the knowledge and acquisition of multiple languages which can have a tremendous impact for the students as far as the processes of perception, reasoning, memory and judgement are concerned. This promises to make the process of learning a language more advantageous and result-oriented. The paper seeks to demonstrate why NEP 2020 lays stress on the role of ICT and e-learning resources in dissemination of knowledge and acquisition of communication skills particularly in rural India. The paper also examines the dynamics of the problems pertaining to proper integration of technology with education with reference to rural India. Lastly it proposes possible solutions to these problems through appropriate use of ICT and e-resources
