Globally, societies are acclimatizing to this new reality with social, cultural, economic, and educational implications. Most governments around the world have temporarily closed educational institutions in an attempt to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. To mitigate the impact of these closures, educational institutes around the world including in India are adopting ICT tools for digital learning and making educators & students mindful of the various digital/e-learning platforms. This research paper aims at studying the scenario in India for use of ICT tools in teaching and learning processes during the global pandemic. The study has been done with both educators and learners to ascertain the true scenario of the use of ICT tools and the effectiveness of the same on the education system. The major aim of this study is to find out factors affecting the use of ICT in education and to provide for future research in the same direction. The study also aims at finding the awareness of ICT tools among the trainers/ educators and students/learners. It was found out that due to pandemic and subsequent lockdown, students and teachers have to use these tools to avoid any kind of loss in the teaching-learning progress. Video Conferencing Platform "Zoom" is the most used application during this pandemic and is mostly used by students in their teens (Age range?). The study has given leads to further investigation on ICT usage in the Indian scenario.

Introduction In the era of information and technology, many changes have taken place and those changes play an important part in our life now. Today technology is considered the reason for economic growth. It makes our life easier by adding ease to the process of achieving myriad goals. Information and communication technology (ICT) is the word, which has become very popular in every aspect of work whether it's personal, professional, or any category, also the usage is not new to academics. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, more often than not, educators/students turned to digital means to search and prepare information materials/ research assignments and not as educational resources to be exploited in the classroom. Now, most governments around the world have temporarily closed educational institutions in an attempt to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. These nationwide closures are affecting over 60% of the world's student population. Several other countries have implemented localized closures affecting millions of additional learners. In mid-April 2020, around 194 countries had fully closed their educational institute as a response to spread the curb of COVID-19. By Mid-July 109, countrywide closures are still in place with more than 1 billion learners affected. (UNESCO, n.d.). The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected and changed businesses, healthcare, travel, shopping, learning, etc. Pandemic has influenced teaching and learning process as people are confined in their home but because of technology despite not going to school, colleges, universities the educational learning has not come to a halt. Individuals and Organizations have started using technology to fill in the gap in the learning process created by the ongoing crisis. Hence, online learning has increased tremendously during the pandemic. Various distance-learning programs already use ICT across the world and online exams in different domains are employed for many decades now (Raja & Nagasubramani, 2018). The concept of a deeply entrenched ICT tool in the teaching-learning process is not unheard of in western countries or advanced countries but it was not at all widely used in India, despite the resources and support systems are available. Teachers and schools were already working towards smart education. If we see the scenario in the last 10-20 years ICT had become popular but was still not cultivated and practiced so commonly.
