In the wake of the pandemic education alongwith among a lot of other things is at complete standstill. 

Schools, Colleges and even private institutions are closed for more than a year now. But even in this dire situation Education as a basic right should not be taken away from the students. 

Different means are on the rise which are being used by government as well as private institutions. 

Online lectures are being regularly watched by the students to get an idea about their entire curriculum. This new system of education will take time for the students to get completely adapted. 

It may sound very catastrophic as the future of millions of students are at stake. But online education has its own pros too. 

When making a survey in the village Bhagabatipur, it is evident that most of the students are getting more and more adapted to this online learning. And when asked if they would have the option to choose between online and offline learning, about 40% of the students chose online learning. 

As a reason they stated that online learning gives you the freedom to learn which crosses the boundary of the syllabus. 

Even though Bhagabatipur is situated in the outskirts and is  a very rural area . The students here are not facing any problem due to low cost of internet and unrestricted usage. 

This gives a hope for students in rural area to compete with the very privileged urban students
