Abstract

The unexpected spread of the COVID-19 epidemic has given rise to a unique circumstance and established a new standard of living all across the planet. India announced the temporary lockdown in March of 2020, and it has been followed by a succession of laws over a few months. During this time, education is one of the essential fields that have been severely hampered by the setbacks that have occurred. The academic community, on the other hand, began to address the issue and find viable alternatives to the existing solutions by predicting future issues. The educational institutions have begun the process of establishing curricula to reach students in rural and urban locations with the greatest number of possible opportunities. Modern Information technology was the only way to communicate with people during the COVID time; thus, we started using online education as a replacement for the traditional educational system. These advancements and new pedagogical approaches brought about a beneficial new transition into the education system. On the other hand, it has produced a graded hierarchy among the learning beneficiaries. Because of this, only a select few members of the affordable rich classes and a portion of the middle classes were able to access the online schooling education platform for themselves. In this paper, some of the digital initiatives are discussed that the Government of India has launched to make the education system in the nation more smooth. Both the good and bad effects that COVID-19 has had on education are explored, and some useful recommendations for carrying out educational activities during the pandemic crisis are also pointed out.
