Abstract Continuous professional development to integrate ICTs into teaching and learning is essential as the educational curriculum is evolving every day. Despite many teachers lacking prior training in utilizing digital technologies, it is important to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills. The Teacher education institutions play a crucial role in integration of ICT competencies. Teachers need technical support to effectively use and maintain technology in their instructional practices. Like other countries Indian educators are also embracing innovative approaches to teach through ICT tools, utilize digital platforms for lesson planning, deliver them in the classroom setup, and assessment. Well-prepared teachers with ICT skills are pivotal for successful technology-based education. The Government of India has consistently promoted policies to encourage technology-driven innovations in education and encourage ICT integration among educators. This research explores the integration of ICT into teacher education programs highlighting the importance of training educators to effectively use technology for better teaching and learning. Synthesizing the literature, empirical studies and the articles, this review inspects pedagogical strategies, challenges, and opportunities associated with ICT integration in teacher education. Additionally, it explores the impact of ICT on teacher preparation, professional development, and classroom practices. For the purpose of the study, the data was collected from various journals, internet, books, records, etc. This article aims to help the policymakers, teachers, and researchers to create good plans for integrating technology into teacher training. This way, we can make sure that teachers are well-prepared to meet the demands of modern classrooms.
