Abstract


The Covid-19 pandemic has affected economies worldwide, so the education sector has been silent. By the time the epidemic ended in March 2020, it had spread to over 185 countries and more than 95% of institutions, universities, and schools had shuttered. There were few plans to move from offline to online training because the disease spread so swiftly, and none could have foreseen the risks and possibilities such a disruptive change in the sector may bring. Teachers increasingly expect technology to facilitate remote learning and instruction, which has had a severe effect. But the digital revolution in education is more than just post-COVID-19 online learning and teaching. Most schools, colleges, and universities now understand how crucial digital transformation is to the educational environment, even though only a small number have just started utilizing technological solutions due to the epidemic. On March 25, 2020, in reaction to these circumstances, the government imposed a nationwide lockdown, which hurt the educational system. Since classroom instruction remains the main focus of the Indian educational system, academic institutions are finding it very difficult to operate in the current setting. The objective of this chapter is to measure the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic has incited digital transformation in India's educational system, pinpointing some of the most noteworthy areas of change and offering a blueprint for future e-learning platforms. The information was gathered from secondary sources, which included government publications, magazines, newspapers, and journals. The study found that India unlocked a range of virtual technologies from elementary school through higher education, where learning activities changed to online learning. The findings imply that there may be areas of exceptional talent in India that have the potential to expand access and take the education sector to new heights. Some people have never been able to attend school because of space constraints. While the pandemic has caused great suffering for individuals worldwide, there is still an opportunity to assess the advantages and disadvantages of the technologies that have been employed, the costs associated with them, and the possibility of scaling these technologies up to improve accessibility. According to the study's findings, using digital tools in the future could drastically change how students and teachers learn, as well as greatly increase the quality of education
