A grid is a collection of distributed computing resources available over a local or wide area network that appear to an end user or application as one large virtual computing system. Grid computing has serious social consequences and is going revolutionize the world of computing. Education is one domain that can be benefited the most from grid computing. The focus on leveraging technologies and products from academic institutions around the world in the areas of e-learning, front-end portals, library automation and digital asset management to promote the sharing and collaboration in the use of technologies, developing content, defining standards and building best-of-breed pedagogical practices is the new upcoming trend. With a lot of work going on in this emerging domain, internationally, India too has joined the bandwagon to contribute to the development in this discipline. This paper aims to present the state-of-the-art of grid computing and attempts to survey India's efforts in developing this upcoming technology. By allowing anyone, anywhere, anytime to easily access supercomputer level processing power and knowledge resources, grids are underpining progress in Indian Education.
