Abstract: The article discusses the impact of COVID-19 on the education sector in India and aims at providing suggestions to build a resilient Indian education system. The findings and suggestions highlighted in the article are based on the personal experiences and learning of the author during this pandemic. Lack of awareness of technology, a lack of administrative support toward the implementation, a lack of an attitude towards transforming the education system, a lack of support from the government on the financial front and a lack of willingness among students to accept online learning are found to be major hurdles in the path of shifting from face-to-face learning to online learning during this crisis. Given that the level of proactive and disciplined learning is lower in online learning when compared with traditional learning in emerging nations, the article strongly recommends the need for educational application development to carry out the teaching-related practices and proliferate the impact of the pandemic on the education sector.
