Abstract
In India when all educational institutes were closed in March, the delivery of knowledge shifted completely to online mode overnight. In the current age of technology and to combat the corona crisis, this online learning approach was highly commendable. There were phenomenal challenges, like a significant proportion of the rural population in Maharashtra continues to fall short of the required internet bandwidth and knowledge to recognize devices and digital terminologies. The absence of supporting infrastructural facilities such as a stable flow of electricity and unavailability of high-speed internet is the second major issue involved. Despite these challenges, a few technical institutes in Maharashtra had worked hard on surmounting the five-headed dragon, namely rural settings, first-generation learners, digital illiteracy, lack of supporting infrastructure, and inadequate online teaching skills. The chapter will present the educational transformations brought in by these technical institutes during and post-pandemic and the way forward to rethink learning in the new normal.
