The emerging concept of cloud computing, and advancement in mobile devices enabled with Sensor technologies transforms many areas of modern day living. The main advantage of the cloud centric environment is that this technology reduces the infrastructure and software cost and License for all. Mobile learning (M-learning) is considering more effective system of providing study materials to learners anywhere anytime. It is necessary to develop the robust contents delivery mechanism for learning which can be accessed from internet enabled mobile devices. In this paper, we discuss the impact of cloud computing and supporting technologies to acquire education in broader dimension for the students over the country. We believe cloud based mobile learning will surely enhance the current educational system and improve the education quality at low cost.
