Abstract	The COVID-19 pandemic has created unexpected challenges in India's educational landscape. Despite the New Education Policy 2020's initiatives to promote digital learning and enhance infrastructure, numerous obstacles hinder the widespread adoption of online teaching and learning. The digital divide reflects and exacerbates societal inequalities, creating a modern range where individuals are categorised based on their access to internet services. Research on online learning during the COVID-19 era in India has mainly centred on investigating the practical application of online learning and examining the effects of policies promoting online education. In this context, this study aimed to contribute to the existing knowledge by assessing and implementing online learning, particularly in rural areas where educators face unique challenges. The study comprehensively explored the barriers stemming from the digital divide, striving to promote educational equity and overcome obstacles hindering inclusive education nationwide. The study method involved extensive literature searches and consultations with experts, primarily focusing on analytically evaluating scientific databases and empirical or perspective papers addressing disparities that emerged during lockdowns, affecting students and educators in remote regions.
