Abstract

This paper analyses the level of awareness of ICT among the faculty members of Siddha colleges in Tamil Nadu. Data has been collected through the questionnaire distributed to the faculty members of three Government Siddha colleges in Tamil Nadu. The results of the study show that the faculty members of Siddha colleges in Tamil Nadu have good familiarity with internet since most of them had learnt about internet by self-learning and through their friends. Also it is found that the faculty members have more than 2 years of experience in the use of internet. The respondents also feel the importance of internet in research to a greater extent.
