The use of digital technologies in education has become extremely prevalent. The teaching-learning environment has shifted dramatically with the advent of ICT. Although some institutions are still wedged to traditional teaching learning procedures, refusing to incorporate technological tools in their teaching and learning. Their teaching-learning is based on old techniques. The unexpected outburst of Covid-19 in March 2020 shuttered the entire world. This sudden outbreak revolutionizes the whole educational procedures overnights. Many academic institutions that were earlier resistant to use ICT in teaching-learning were compelled to use digital technologies in their teaching-learning process, the only option available.

The Internet has had a significant influence on everyone's life, and it goes without saying that young people make up the majority of internet users. The youth of the present time are living a digital life with the internet technology. It provides various comforts to its users.

Cyberbullying is the misuse of technology with the intention to harass and harm others. Due to the fact that it is a common problem among youngster and has more harmful effects than expected. It has many negative consequences on its victims such as stress, anxiety, social dissatisfaction, negative school attitude and in some cases substances abuse, depression, physical harm, mental strain and in extreme cases suicide also.

Women's education, in particular, is currently at the focus of development debate. Higher education gives women the ability to make their own decisions. It would enhance talents and responsibilities in the social, economic, political, and cultural spheres. Higher education entails the complete development of a person's personality. Higher education ensured that you would have a better job, which would give you with more security in your life. It entails self-improvement, career security, character development, and societal advancement. India is the world's second-largest country in terms of population. However, when we compare the current status of Indian women to that of women in other nations, we can see that the situation is far from good. Women in India encounter a variety of obstacles to achievement, including illiteracy, domestic abuse, a lack of drive and support, and so on. India is a country where man-made social domains are dominant. It is critical for the country's harmonic development that women walk hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder with men. Higher Education will also play an important part in women's empowerment. The main goal of this study is to emphasize the importance of education, especially higher education, in women's empowerment.

Internet has an access to an unlimited amount of the information at the click of the button. It is a double-edged sword. The overwhelming use of internet and social media causes both negative and positive effects on its users. Cyberbullying is one manifestation of such type of negative effects. Cyberbullying is a form of harassment and humiliation through the virtual world (Juvonen & Gross, 2008). The increased use of social media by teenagers and adolescents, has led to cyberbullying becoming a major issue. Rising incidents and tragedies of cyberbullying have alerted researchers, educators, government officials, and the parents to the severe consequences of this new form of bullying. It is an emerging concern that has been associated with the series of negative consequences. Its presence is found in almost every societal aspect. The effects of cyberbullying behaviour have been studied largely in middle and high school students, but less is known about cyberbullying in college students. It has been rampant and uncontrolled among the College students. Its adverse effect has become a crucial concern for all. It is a challenge for teachers and parents to control the cyberbullying. Very little attention has been paid to its academic impact and outcomes. It can have extensive negative impact on the victim and leave them with devasting scars. The victims of cyberbullying experienced anxiety, fear, depression, low academic achievement, school dropouts, low self-esteem resulting in feeling overwhelmed, vulnerable, powerless, revengeful, exposed, humiliated, isolated negative school attitudes and losing interest in schooling and life. This paper examines the effect of cyberbullying behaviour on the academic achievement of the college students

ICT is seen as a significant tool for educational reforms and changes, as it has the capacity to change the existing paradigm in the present educational scenario. There isn't a single aspect in education that hasn't been touched by the digital revolution. The use of numerous ICT tools such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn, among others, has a significant impact on how students and teachers communicate, learn and socialize. Thus, ICT has a tendency to increase educational enrolment and educational access. Learning may take place at any time and in any location regardless of the geographical boundaries. ICT technologies are currently utilized by many types of individuals, particularly the student population, to build relationships, connect with the world, exchange and receive knowledge and information, participate in group discussions from near and far destinations, develop stronger personalities, and improve social life. As a result, ICT provides a platform for the students to interact and work with one another in collaborative settings. Thus, the usage of ICT tools has brought about a paradigm shift in the process of education. Despite the fact that technology delivers several benefits to the student community, it diverts students' attention, which could have major effects on the students' professional lives. This paper tends to highlight the influence of using ICT tools in futuristic classrooms, communication and academic life of students and teachers. It also discusses how the paradigm shift has occurred in education through the use of ICT tools.
