According to an editorial coverage (The Hindu, 2021), published during the pandemic, students and teachers have not been able to use computers and the internet has been acknowledged to be a form of deprivation, especially during the pandemic, just as the inability to attend in-person classes is another. According to the Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation (MoSPI), only 24% of Indian households have internet access. A major correspondence report (2020) by one of India's leading newspaper, The Hindu, explains how tragic impact of pandemic on the economy alone has made girls and young women more vulnerable to early marriage, early pregnancy and gender-based violence at home and has adversely affected their future with the school closures and the eventual shift to online education, which added to aggravate their situation. Notwithstanding these incessant articles and research studies bringing out the ruthless realities from different parts of the country, the Union Minister of Finance and Corporate Afairs released a statement (PIB, 2021), that there has been a jump in number of smart phones being owned by students across rural India which has increased majorly from 36.5% in 2018 to 61.8% in 2020 and this would result in flling up the digital divide between urban and rural areas and, would ultimately lead to the end of gender based discrimination in education. ...with the virtual education, we have left the idea of inclusivity far behind and the worst part is that no one is considering an assessment of the number of adolescents who will be out of the education system if dependence on online classes increases with time, given the amount of uncertainty looming around (Jansata, 2020).
