The world has digitized itself and become accessible from any nook or cranny of the globe. However, teaching and learning were still considered analogue players in a largely digital world. However, the advent of an epic war for humans against an invisible and a virus of size in nano-scale which has created a standstill in the whole globe was on the cards, when in January this year the first reports of Covid-19 were reported from a South-East Asian country. The next few months saw the rapid spread of the microbe like a forest fire, bringing most first- world nations to their knees and who world to a grinding halt. Under the ominous shadow of the contagion, there is a big question on the existence of human lives.

In India, to restrict pandemic’s spread, the Indian government has declared a complete lockdown.
