- COVID-19 has given a tremendous opportunity to the education sector to reinvent, reorganize and reform itself in terms of pedagogy, examination and extension activities.

- In light of the Digital India initiative, many Universities and other educational institutions can leverage technological platforms to provide 24x7 teaching - learning processes.

- There is a tremendous need to build the technological capacities of the teachers and the institutions especially in the semi-urban and rural areas in order to bridge the digital divide.

- There is an urgent need to explore and possibilities of sustainable reforms in the examination and evaluation processes which can go beyond the pandemic.

- The institutions should invest in building the technological infrastructure which can meet the needs of the teachers, scholars and students even in the future.

- Government should create digital platforms through which synergies can be created by the sharing of resources, best practices and infrastructure.

- In J&K under the Sarv Shiksha Abhiyan, prior to pandemic, a number of initiatives have already been taken through JK Knowledge Network. This will surely help the school students in the backward areas to get access to global knowledge and help them to become globally competitive
