TopIntroduction
Information and communication technology have tremendous potential for social impact, human development and improving the lives of people they serve Through ICT peoples are able to communicate in better way and can access relevant information. It also helps in developing collaborative and research skills. People can gain confidence and avail opportunities on their potential. Information and communication technology provides appropriate hardware, software and networking services to the search engine. To find out relevant pages instantaneously from billions of web pages available on the internet is a complex task. So, information extraction in web scenario is must to provide the relevant search to the user at the very first instant. An effective search engine is the necessity of today’s information era. Search engine is a software program that searches for web sites that exist on the World Wide Web. Search engines search through its personal databases of information in order to provide the relevant information. A web crawler is an automated program that starts with a set of URLs called seeds and stores all the URL links associated with downloaded web page in a table called crawl frontier. The extractor sends all these information attached to the textual raw data to the analyzer. The analyzer then takes the entire HTML code of the downloaded web page and analyzes the code, keeping the relevant data and rejecting the rest. Some composing techniques are applied to link containing the similar types of information from the database to generate the relevant query results. Information and communication technology can be related to information extraction in web context or in search engine in a variety of ways (Anderson & Weert, 2002; Kundu & Sarangi, 2004). Traditional web crawling techniques have been used to search the contents of the web that is reachable through the hyperlinks but they ignore the deep web contents which are hidden because there is no link is available for referring these deep web contents. The web contents which are accessible through hyperlinks are termed as surface web while the hidden contents hidden behind the html forms are termed as deep web. Deep web sources store their contents in searchable databases that produce results dynamically only in response to a direct request (Bergman, 2001) (Sharma & Sharma, 2011). Figure 1 shows the benefits of information extraction using ICT in human development in context of search engine.

TopAnalysis Of Application Area Of Ict
Some of the area in which ICT plays a significant role in their development is analyzed below.
ICT in Education
In 1999 an analysis was done to find out the use of computer in schools. In that analysis it was found that a large number of students were sound enough to use the computers without taking help from school. The analysis also reveals that male and female students have different area of interest regarding the use of computer. A complete frame work can be divided into five modules.
Resource: It corresponds to a range of sources to access information.
Tutorial: It helps to acquire new knowledge along with feedback.
Exploration and Control: It investigates and provides the situations.
Support: It facilitates in communicating and providing the information to users.
Link: It facilities the interactive information exchange between individuals and groups.
Analysis of ICT evolution reveals that four specific approaches should be applied to adoption and use of ICT in educational organization. These four approaches are evolvement, application, hybridization and transformation (Hyper History, 2010; Anderson & Weert, 2002).
The deep web provides for a wide range of educational resources which varies from a student searching for an ideal school based on key personal requirements to an administrator looking for fund-raising resources. The key resources include directories and locators, general education resources, statistics resources etc.
