The COVID-19 has caused schools all across the world to close. Over 1.2 billion youngsters are out of school worldwide. As a result, education has undergone significant transformations, with the rise of e-learning, in which instruction is done remotely and via digital platforms. According to research, online learning increases information retention and takes less time, implying that the alterations created by the coronavirus are here to stay.

According to the 2017-18 National Sample Survey, only 23.8 percent of Indian homes had access to the internet. Only 14.9 percent of rural homes (66 percent of the population) and 42 percent of urban households have access. And men are the main users: only 16% of women have access to mobile internet, compared to 36% of men. According to one research, only 12.5% of pupils have access to smartphones. Furthermore, most teachers are unprepared to teach online. PURPOSE In India, the outbreak of COVID-19 has been declared a pandemic in all its provinces and territories.
