Abstract | The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the education sector globally, leading to unprecedented challenges for societies. This research paper explores the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Indian students, with a particular focus on the challenges and opportunities presented in the education sector. It discusses the government’s initiatives to mitigate the disruption caused by the pandemic, which includes the closure of educational institutions and the subsequent shift to online learning. The positive impacts of this transition, such as the rise in digital literacy, increased online meetings, and improved time management skills, are examined. The paper also studies the negative consequences, emphasizing on digital divide that has widened between students from different socioeconomic backgrounds. The lack of internet connectivity, particularly in rural areas, has hindered the educational progress of many students. This disparity has led to some students taking up illegal jobs due to financial constraints, further exacerbating societal inequalities. Additionally, the gender gap in digital access is highlighted, particularly the limitations faced by female students in terms of mobile internet access. The research also sheds light on the mental health toll on students, considering the challenges of social isolation, anxiety, and an abusive environment. The study concludes by emphasizing the urgent need for efforts to bridge the digital gap, maximize the utilization of online platforms, and strengthen information technology infrastructure in educational institutions. |
