The Trends, Challenges & Initiatives of Digital Transformation of Indian Education

Abstract

The educational system in India is as diverse as our nation's culture, languages, heritage, etc. No industry was
spared from the Covid pandemic's effects, and India's education sector was no exception. The acceptance of
technology and the creation of fresh methods of teaching and learning were the only bright spots in a world
beset by several unforeseen obstacles. In India, many schools had successfully given lessons online, but
simultaneously, there were schools which were shut down. So, the schools that had previously prohibited the
use of electronic devices had to adopt online learning. Both teachers and kids are now becoming accustomed
to this new normal, which makes handling the issue more difficult for them. This study attempts to summarize
several important areas of transformation in the education sector, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the
current educational landscape, and attempts to provide a road map for a future e-learning system. With the
start of the pandemic's third calendar year, 2022 seems to be a significant year, particularly for education.
Around the world, educational systems have had to deal with periodic closures, unequal access to educational
technology and other tools for distant learning, and significant difficulties in preserving the physical and
mental well-being of both students and teachers. While this is true, not all of the unexpected changes brought
on by the epidemic have been negative; over the past three years, some encouraging new innovations, allies,
and increased attention to the field of global education have emerged. The crucial question is whether 2022
and the years to come will result in a change of education or if students, instructors, and families will
experience significant setbacks. In this study, we look into the digital revolution that the COVID-19 epidemic
has brought in the education sector, as well as any obstacles that may have been encountered
