India is also troubled by the problem of slow internet speed. In this case, India ranks one hundred and twenty nine in the list of one hundred and thirty four countries, which is also behind neighbouring Pakistan, Sri Lanka. Even during the Corona period, the improvement in this matter was seen to be fast, but there is no idea when the country’s 2.5 lakh panchayats and six and a half lakh villages will have 100 percent internet access. The aim of education should be to make it more student-centred, enjoyable, experimental and exploratory. Perhaps this has been discovered more or less in every education policy and in every type of curriculum. But there has also been a strange contradiction and dilemma regarding education and teaching method. In the seventy-five years of independence, hardly any definite notion has been formed about what elements should be included in an ideal and quality education system. As a result, every new generation has been suffering the punishment of this uncertainty more or less and now in this era of Kovid-19 for the last two years, online education is teaching a new lesson to the present generation where education is a new struggle to maintain mental balance as well. Is trying.
In the current global pandemic, the digital system has assumed a central role as an essential element of communication, leadership and coordination between policy-makers, administration and society. This space of digital can be seen becoming an important tool for dissemination of schemes related to Kovid-19 in a more transparent, secure and interoperable manner, but the references have been somewhat contrary. It has been seen that the Ministry of Education also received complaints in bulk from parents, in which children are being taught online by schools for hours, maintaining the proportion of homework and children sticking to computers, laptops and mobiles throughout the day. live. Obviously, it was natural to change behavior due to unnecessary busyness.
This not only reduced the ability to learn, but also started causing irritability in the children. However, e-learning emerged as an important option in handling education during the pandemic. Due to this, it helped to keep almost the entire education system from derailment during the Corona period. Significantly, the rise of digital technology has also given an opportunity to adopt a new approach in terms of teaching methods, university administration systems, higher education goals and universities to be established in the future. That is why the Government of India announced the opening of a digital university in the budget of the financial year 2022-23.
Whenever efforts are made to strengthen good governance, it also includes ensuring that there is no shortage of compensation for public order and public development gets full opportunity. Whether everyone got opportunity through e-education, this question has not gone anywhere even today. Apart from this, all the basic development and sustainable development streams including education, medicine, roads, electricity, water should also get the desired status, this is also a plank of good governance. Efforts can be made to keep everything right due to the epidemic, but the results have also been desired, there is doubt about it. Digital India has spread in India on the scale from which the multiplication of good governance ends.
Although Digital India appeared in the year 2015, but its foundation is decades old. In fact, its foundation was laid when the Government of India formed the Department of Electronics in 1970 and the National Information Center in 1977. With the liberalization of 1991, the country was adopting a new stream in which electronic configuration was also a part of it. The e-revolution may have come late, but its spread is decades old. The disclosure of the National e-Governance Plan in 2006 ensured efficiency, transparency and accountability.
E-education is a link to this, which was desperate to touch the sky during the Corona period, but the leap was not completed. Significantly, digitization is also a great tool for e-education. E-governance is taking a new turn at present and the ground of development is now digitized, but in India with a population of one hundred and thirty six crores, the scope of the Internet is still not in that average that education through e-education is To be given full position.
The National Sample Survey shows that for the year 2017-18, only forty-two percent of urban and fifteen percent of rural households had internet access. At present, 60 percent of the urban population and only thirty one percent of the rural population have access to the Internet. According to the Internet and Mobile Association of India, the number of Internet users in the country by 2020 was about three-three million. However, by 2025, it is expected to touch the figure of ninety crores. Not only this, India is also troubled by the problem of slow internet speed.
In this case, India ranks one hundred and twenty nine in the list of one hundred and thirty four countries, which is also behind neighbouring Pakistan, Sri Lanka. Even during the Corona period, the improvement in this matter was seen to be fast, but there is no idea when the country’s 2.5 lakh panchayats and six and a half lakh villages will have 100 percent internet access. However, the correct answer will be found in government policies and rhetoric. It is clear from this that a large number of students were deprived of e-education. The investigation reveals that there are more than thousand universities in the country including all types i.e. Central, State, Deemed and Private. Apart from this, there are more than forty thousand colleges from where about four crore students get bachelor’s degree every year.
No matter how widespread digitization may be, its benefits will reach the last person only when it is more accessible and cheaper. If seen, about four hundred crore rupees will be spent for Digital India, e-learning. Many technologies are being tried on the parameters of education and the way the education sector has been facing a major struggle in the last two years, it has become clear that the digital leap has become the first need of the hour. Good governance also says that the government should not delay nor should there be any compulsion in providing what the people want.
The basic condition for achieving the goal of ‘Digital Education for All’ is that the infrastructure related to digital education should be developed, as well as rapid steps should be taken towards digital literacy. E-education is currently in its infancy in India. The government has supported various e-learning programs to promote e-learning. By the way, e-education can be divided into two categories. Under the first category, students and education interact with each other from different places at the same time.
This includes audio and video conferencing, live chat and virtual classes, while there is no option for student and teacher communication in the second class educational system. In this there is web based study in which students get education with the help of any online course, blog, website, video, e-book etc. Whatever be the medium of e-education, it can be brought on full scale only when it is easy to bear the cost. It is also bluntly that e-education may be full of many benefits, but it will be limited in terms of health. Not only this, the kind of personality development that is possible in the study done under the classroom program, there will also be a serious lack of it. |
