Abstract	The growing use of cloud computing is transforming how information and communication technologies are utilized. Its applications are expanding rapidly due to numerous benefits for students, enabling seamless information sharing and introducing innovative experiences within the educational system. Despite extensive global research, there remains a gap in literature concerning the specific factors affecting cloud computing use in higher education institutions—particularly the Vidarbha region. This gap is evident in the limited number of region-specific studies. Therefore, this paper aims to deepen the knowing of the key elements affecting cloud technology implementation within higher education institutions in Vidarbha.To gather relevant data, fieldwork was carried out across various higher education institutions located in different parts of the Vidarbha region. The study employed a qualitative research methodology grounded in an interpretive framework, focusing on identifying both the key benefits and the primary obstacles for adoption of cloud computing in the region's universities.
