In this digital era, ICT use in the classroom is essential for giving teachers opportunities to learn and apply the vital 21st century skills. ICT improves teaching and learning and its significance for teachers in playing their role of creators of pedagogical environments. The present study was conducted on “Teacher’s perspectives towards integration of ICT in classrooms” with a sample size of 100 teachers. The data was collected on attitude of teachers about computer related practices and extent of ICT integration in classrooms by the teachers with the help of the questionnaire. Finding of the study depicts that majority of the teachers were having favorable attitude about ICT and they were inclined towards the integration of ICT in classrooms.
