Abstract

Almost every sector has been affected by the global effects of pandemic Covid-19. The education sector is one the region that has unquestionably changed as a result of Covid-19. In India, over 32 crores students were unable to move to schools or universities, and all educational activities were halted. Instead of being an option, online learning has become a requirement. The online experience was crucial to ensuring that students continue their learning and interaction with the subjects they have chosen, and side by side ensured that schools could complete syllabus and teaching in some methodical way. It was noticed across India's Agricultural Universities, that the loss of academic learning time ranged from 210 to 270 hours per student. The Covid-19 pandemic has shown that change is unavoidable. To wash away the possibility of a pandemic, the education sector has been striving to survive crises with a new method and digitization of learning.
