The paper study on the present status and progress of the computer and internet connected schools in the district level in Manipur in the period 2020-21 to 2024-25 using secondary data acquire from Unified District Information System for Education Plus (UDISE+). The research employed a descriptive research design to study the distribution of digital amenity in the schools of different districts and to investigate the variation in digital amenity between the valley and hill districts in the region. The findings display a progressive growth in the rates of availability of digital access in educational establishments, with the steady growth observed in the number of schools that have reported to have access to computers and internet connectivity over the five- year period. Imphal West, Imphal East, Bishnupur and Thoubal districts show quite high figures of schools that have digital facilities by contrast of Kamjong, Pherzawl, Tengnoupal and Tamenglong. The results reveal that there is a digital divide in a region, as valley areas tend to have higher digital infrastructure than the hill districts. The study suggests that the implementation of specific policy measures and infrastructural upgrades to enhance the use of digital connections in schools, especially in hill districts, to achieve quality access to digital learning.
