Globalization and post-globalization have brought all of us to what Thomas Friedman rightly called a ‘’Flat World’’. Succinctly, this unique interconnectedness has also moved humanity to a new age of education, culture, business, politics and science. Precisely, the master key behind the fastest expansion of all these sectors is nothing but an advanced stage of information and communication technology (ICTs). And, frankly, education has been propelled completely to a new height wherein the ‘digital education or online education’ has come to the centre stage despite humanity having been entrenched into an established system of off-line or physical mode of education for ages. The challenges and opportunities of this online education have surfaced very prominently when all of a sudden, the ghost of Covid-19 stuck all of us. Online education is a boon for many, especially those who are able to access the latest mode of ICTs. And for a large section of people, digital education has become a hindrance to their learning process. This specifically applies to the marginalised including the Dalits, tribals, the minorities and all other socially and economically backward classes of people all across India. Further, we can certainly say that beyond the marginalised sections, people residing in the remotest corners of North-Eastern India have also largely experienced the inaccessibility to ICT for availing the benefits of digital education. India has the second largest schooling system in the world only after China. Closing down schools and other educational institutions during the Covid-19 pandemic was urgently needed to maintain social distancing so as to avoid community transmission of the disease. However, this prolonged closure of educational institutions has a strong negative impact on already disadvantaged and neglected sections of our society. The e-learning format is purely new for them. And most of them are not accessible to digital technology. Despite education being a Fundamental Right and Fundamental Duty enshrined in our Constitution, it was a herculean task for the Government to offer digital education to millions of children from the remote areas and underprivileged sections of our society. We also need to understand that no country was ever prepared for monstrous pandemic like this. Hence, the impact on education and learners from these vulnerable sections have become unimaginable.
