The spread of pandemic COVID-19 has drastically disrupted every aspects of human life including education. It has created an unprecedented test on education. In many educational institutions around the world, campuses are closed and teaching-learning has moved online. Internationalization has slowed down considerably. In India, about 32 crores learners stopped to move schools/colleges and all educational activities brought to an end. Despite of all these challenges, the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have reacted positively and managed to ensure the continuity of teaching-learning, research and service to the society with some tools and techniques during the pandemic. While we all know that the entire world is facing the tough time due to impact of COVID 19. It has hampered almost all the sector in more than 200+ countries.

It has also have the major impact on the Indian Education society and all the academic work is put on hold by the apex body UGC for the safety measures of students and faculties. In this paper, we have focused on to check the impact of COVID 19 on the Indian Education working pedagogy and its positive and negative impact in terms of student and faculty perspective. For this purpose the primary study has been conducted by structuring questionnaire by asking open ended and close ended questions to the respondent and our major stakeholders associated with the Indian education for the survey such as Students, faculties and Parents. The study is descriptive and analytical in nature where the information has been collected from the various official websites, newspapers, online news articles, and discussions. The study mainly focused on the recent adaption by the faculties to teach their students through the Virtual classroom instead of physical classroom teaching. The paper will give the final outcome of the benefits and drawbacks of Virtual classrooms in the opinion of faculties, students and parent’s opinion. The paper will also let us know that due to coronavirus impact the Virtual classroom is now the integral part of Indian Education society or not. The higher education plays a key role for socio- economic development of the people in any country and with the implementation of these suggestive measures, the country will move forward and ensure the overall progress in education sector. Some fruitful suggestions are also pointed to carry out educational activities during the pandemic situation.
