Abstract	The blending of ICT in our teaching-learning process is a journey that can bring exponential growth in the progress of our nation. Due to the effect of the novel COVID-19, the teaching-learning process has shifted from face-to-face to online mode. ICT integration into the curriculum can definitely help in restructuring and reorienting the whole teacher education by optimizing the students' learning outcomes. ICT can help in promoting inclusion by providing room for flexibility that enables sustainable development. ICT competencies allow the teachers to integrate ICT into their teaching-learning process effectively. ICT integration also encourages flexibility and better retention among the students using the multi-media mode. India is a fast developing nation and its ICT infrastructure will enhance its present status from the three levels of ICT integration to five levels of ICT integration i.e. entry-level, adoption level, adaptation level, infusion level, and finally, transformational level. NEP-2020 also recommends the promotion of ICT integration by taking various steps like the establishment of NETF, NRF and promotion of digital portals like SWAYAM and SWAYAM PRABHA where the teacher educators can upload their digital learning resources for providing quality education to the students residing in the remotest parts of the country through enrollment in the MOOC courses and programs of e-Pathshala. All these efforts will undoubtedly help in restructuring and revolutionizing teacher education and the whole nation's fate undoubtedly depends upon revamping the whole system of higher education.
