THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ICT DURING LOCKDOWN FOR COVID -19

Abstract

The ICT-dependent aspects that have made people more attractive during lockdown include the use of online newspapers, e-mail, video conferencing, and more. ICT has made a significant impact in the field of communication as well as in the field of education, which is now gaining ground in online centric learning. In order to maintain social distance, 86% of the educational institutions in the world have been forced to stop general classroom-based education today.

On the contrary, while maintaining social distance, ICT has become the main pillar of online based education through dependent education. In a populous country like ours, it is possible to evaluate the effectiveness of this emerging online-based education and communication in terms of proper user application. In a country like ours, the use of ICT in social and personal life has taken Indian civilization a long way.  But it has been found that only 36% of the total population of effective education has access to the education system. The effective application of ICT based communication or education in urban areas has increased. But rural areas are still facing problems. Considering that perspective, in this paper, the current situation of ICT reliance in in India in terms of the world is presented in this paper.
