The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in teacher education is pivotal for preparing future educators to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving digital landscape. This paper explores the multifaceted role of ICT in empowering teacher educators by examining its benefits, addressing challenges, and proposing strategies for successful implementation. The benefits of ICT include personalized learning experiences, improved accessibility and flexibility, and enhanced collaboration and communication among educators. However, challenges such as the digital divide, insufficient training, and resistance to change must be addressed to fully leverage ICT’s potential. To overcome these barriers, the paper suggests strategies such as comprehensive ICT training programs, supportive infrastructure, and fostering collaborative learning environments. Looking ahead, the continuous adoption of ICT is essential for transforming teacher education and enhancing educational practices. Educational institutions are encouraged to prioritize ICT integration, while educators are urged to embrace and lead the transition towards a digitally empowered future. This paper underscores the critical role of ICT in shaping the future of teacher education and highlights the need for sustained commitment to technology-enhanced learning.

The World and India are growing at a faster rate due to urbanization, digitalization and industrialization. This transformation leads to transformation of gender roles in Indian marriage. It reflects a gradual yet meaningful shift from rigid patriarchy to emerging equality in relationship. Urbanization, economic participation of women, and changing family structures have accelerated this shift, empowering both partners to contribute meaningfully to household, professional, and emotional spheres. Despite persisting challenges such as gender pay gaps, unequal domestic workloads, and traditional mindsets, the overall trajectory is positive. Policy reforms, educational opportunities, and media advocacy are collectively fostering a culture of gender sensitivity and cooperation. The growing acceptance of men’s involvement in caregiving and women’s leadership in professional spaces symbolizes a new balance between tradition and modernity. Thus, the changing face of marriage in India reflects a society in transition one that is learning to harmonize cultural heritage with contemporary values of equality and mutual respect. The future of Indian marriage lies not in preserving old hierarchies, but in nurturing partnerships that value emotional connection, fairness, and shared growth between men and women.
