A developing number of understudies are currently selecting on the web classes. They find the conventional study hall methodology prohibitive, unyielding, and illogical. In this time of innovative headway, schools can now give powerful homeroom educating through the Web. Instructive establishments (schools, schools, and colleges) in India are at present founded distinctly on conventional techniques for realizing, that is to say, they follow the customary set up of eye to eye addresses in a homeroom. Albeit numerous scholastic units have additionally begun mixed learning, still a ton of them are left with old methodology. The unexpected episode of a destructive infection called Covid-19 brought about by a Corona Virus (SARS-CoV-2) shook the whole world. The World Health Organization proclaimed it as a pandemic.

There are number of advances accessible for online schooling yet now and again they make a great deal of troubles. These challenges and issues related with current innovation range from downloading mistakes, issues with establishment, login issues, issues with sound and video, etc. At times understudy views internet instructing as exhausting and unengaging (Brzezinski & Stefanowski, 2014).
Web based learning has such a large amount time and adaptability that understudies never carve out opportunity to make it happen. Individual consideration is likewise a colossal issue confronting web based learning. Understudies need two-way communication which some of the time gets challenging to execute. The educational experience can't arrive at its maximum capacity until understudies practice what they realize. Now and again, online substance is all hypothetical and doesn't allow understudies to rehearse and advance successfully. Unremarkable course happy is likewise a significant issue. Understudies feel that absence of local area, specialized issues, and hardships in understanding educational objectives are the significant obstructions for web based learning (Chen, 2020).
Instructors or educators as facilitators face a difficult situation while dealing with these EdTech new businesses as how to begin utilizing it when to utilize it, how to diminish interruptions for understudies, how to improve understudies' abilities through EdTech. The cooperation by understudies isn't sufficient, instructors should invest extensive energy to increment understudy commitment, hold their consideration, take inputs, and survey them in more ways than one (Holfeld & Baitz, 2020 ).
This will establish a viable and significant learning climate. EdTech can't supplant an instructor yet it can improve guidance. During such difficult stretches, when Covid-19 has constrained schools and universities to remain totally lockdown for a very long time because of the earnestness of the circumstance, EdTech organizations can end up being of extraordinary assistance to understudies. As per the reports by KPMG and Google, the EdTech area will blast and is probably going to stretch around 2 Billion Dollars by 2021. A portion of the well-known EdTech new companies incorporate Byju's, Adda247, Alolearning, AptusLearn, Asmakam, Board Infinity, ClassPlus, CyberVie, Egnify, Embibe, ExtraaEdge, iStar, Jungroo Learning, GlobalGyan, Lido Learning, Pesto, Vedantu, Edubrisk, ZOOM Classroom, ZOOM Business, Toppr, Unacademy, Coursera, Kahoot, Seesaw, Khan Academy, e-pathshala, GuruQ, and the rundown is long. SWAYAM gateway is a fascinating instructive program that is started by the public authority of India to accomplish three significant targets of our instructive strategy, or at least, access, value, and quality.
The primary goal of SWAYAM is to give web based learning and diminish the advanced gap. It gives an enormous number of free courses for school, distance, graduate, and postgraduate training. During the Covid-19 emergency, SWAYAM is of extraordinary assistance for understudies the nation over (Pratama et al., 2020 ).
In the fallout of a portion of the normal catastrophes like floods, typhoons, tremors, storms, etc, information conveyance turns into a difficult assignment. These dangers upset the instructive cycles in schools and universities in more than one way. Now and again, it prompts conclusion of schools and universities which makes genuine ramifications for understudies and denies them of their major right to instruction and stances them to future gamble. "100 million kids and youngsters are impacted by cataclysmic events consistently. The majority of them face interruption to their tutoring" (World Vision).
Circumstances of emergency and clashes are the greatest obstacles in the way of instruction. Numerous understudies and educators likewise deal with mental issues during emergency-there is pressure, dread, uneasiness, despondency, and a sleeping disorder that lead to an absence of concentration and focus. Calamities make devastation in the existences of individuals. With changing weather conditions and climbing worldwide temperatures, a rising number of outrageous climate occasions have turned into the new standard. Such occasions made differing measures of misfortune life and property. Table1 shows a portion of the cataclysmic events that caused tremendous disturbance in instructive cycles. Enormous quantities of schools and universities were obliterated and huge number of understudies were impacted by these regular catastrophes. Their schooling got upset in halfway. "Interruption of schooling can leave youngsters in danger of kid work, early marriage, double-dealing, and enrollment into military". At the point when calamities and emergencies (man-made and regular) happen, schools and universities should be strong and ought to track down better approaches to go on with instructing learning exercises (Syauqi et al., 2020 ).
