Abstract

Education performs a very significant role in the progress of a nation. In a developing country like India, where the literacy rate is 69.1%, education has a significant impact on the upliftment of the society. But, because of Covid-19, along with other sectors, education too went into a stand still mode as schools, colleges and universities were temporarily shut down as a precautionary measure in our country. Not only in India, but the education sector is being affected badly by Covid-19 across the globe, but it could not cease the zeal of learning among the students. A new technological revolution has been observed in the education sector to impart knowledge through online mode in this pandemic time. So in this chapter, firstly the impact of Covid-19 in the field of education is presented. Along with negative impacts, the various online platforms which gave a new dimension to education are discussed in detail along with their features. The various schemes and initiatives taken by our Government to promote online education are also discussed in detail. At last, a case study is done and discussed to highlight the viewpoint of the learners about the technology-equipped education.
