Abstract:

With the changing times and introduction of technology, everything has been advanced and modernized. The education sector also has had a great impact of technology on it. This paper tries to focus on the gradual change over the pattern of education from the traditional classrooms to virtual classrooms aided by Information and Communication Technology (ICT). In the current era, humans and electronic devices are inseparable and that makes learning easier and ubiquitous.

This paper aims to provide an overview on the beginning of ICT in India, impact of the pandemic in the Education sector and the transition of classroom approach, from teacher centric to student centric. During the Covid 19 lockdown, a pivotal role is played by the technology. The entire education sector was shut, and education has yet survived and thrived through mobiles, laptops, I-pads and Internet. There are several digital initiatives taken by the government of India in higher education which promoted ICT in education and encouraged students to study virtually using mobile phones.
