Since 2018, the Center for Sustainable Development, in collaboration with the Maharashtra State Council of Educational Research and Training (MSCERT) and the NGO Leadership for Equity (LFE), has conducted action research in Maharashtra to enhance the quality of education through the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in schools. Maharashtra State, recognizing the significance of technology in teaching, prioritizes its integration to elevate learning outcomes. To guide investments effectively, the state seeks to identify the most efficient tools and approaches to support schools in filling gaps and optimizing the use of digital technology and resources through the Digital School Survey. The survey was carried out with 1000 schools in Maharashtra through a mix of online and offline in Marathi and English through Survey Monkey. The data analysis provides an overview of ICT integration in Maharashtra schools, revealing that teacher-driven efforts using personal mobile devices and corporate social responsibility initiatives contribute to increased ICT use. The recommendations highlight key strategies for enhancing ICT integration in Maharashtra’s schools. Customized resource packages, guided by the government, leveraging CSR efforts for device provision. Encouraging IT industry investment in rural connectivity ensures equitable access. Promoting ongoing teacher professional development, especially through “tech-savvy” training, correlates with increased ICT integration. Clear government guidance on content quality standards, including recommended YouTube channels, supports teachers in selecting high-quality resources. These insights underscore the role of public-private collaboration in advancing information technology in education in Maharashtra.
