The role of technology in bridging educational gaps has emerged as a significant topic in India. The advent of technology has had a profound impact on education globally, especially in developing countries like India, where educational inequality is prevalent among disadvantaged groups. These groups—such as those from rural areas, low-income families, and marginalized communities including Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST)—face significant barriers to accessing quality education. Technology has the potential to address these disparities through digital platforms, mobile education, and e-learning tools. This paper investigates the role of technology in bridging educational gaps in India, analyzing how digital initiatives have impacted the learning outcomes for marginalized populations. Furthermore, it explores government-led initiatives, challenges such as the digital divide, and case studies highlighting successful interventions. While technology offers immense promise, factors like inadequate infrastructure, poor internet penetration, and limited digital literacy remain obstacles. This paper concludes by suggesting ways in which technology can further support the educational upliftment of disadvantaged groups in India.
