Education is like food rich in various nutrients required to keep the mind healthy. From ‘gurukul’ to ‘digi-kul’ education, especially professional education has evolved tremendously in the last decade. This journey has traversed paths intermittent with ‘open air’ learning to customize learning, from blackboard-based learning to technology based learning. Though smart boards and computers were being increasingly used in classroom-based teaching in the recent past, no one had imagined a scenario where institutions would be devoid of students and teachers, while attendance would be marked in a virtual classroom. The COVID-19 pandemic taught us to adapt to a new normal, so after an initial break of two to three months people got back to business in new ways. ‘Comeback’ was the answer to ‘setback’. But is this ‘new normal’ inclusive? Have we left behind a vulnerable yet very important segment of our population? If education means imparting knowledge, teaching and training young minds, is E-learning reaching and influencing young minds? This paper attempts to present the authors’ views on this subject.
