Abstract: 

Disasters and drastic changes due to natural calamities have, since ages, been an inseparable part of human lives on the planet. Why do these calamities befall, all of a sudden disturbing the normal smooth sailing, is a serious question to ponder? Recently the world was under siege due to the deadly Corona virus which brought life to a sudden and shocking halt. There was not a single nation which stood unaffected or was not deeply wounded by its gruesome impact. Those who have survived the ‘Pandemic’ have had their share of lesson. COVID-19 has drastically exposed inequalities round the globe and altered the way we communicate and work. Over the past two years, the world has witnessed a multifarious shift in human behaviour. When all of a sudden the schools closed down for safety reasons the connection between the teacher and the taught was abruptly snapped. With the uncertain lockdown it was the teachers only who kept on hitting the SOS tab dauntlessly in a bid to sail out safely from the chaos. Slowly yet steadily, it seems, the life has paced again. Keeping in mind the bitter fact that the threat of Corona has not yet evaded; I, through the paper, have striven to dwell on the extreme crisis it caused and the suggestions towards managing uninterrupted connectivity with the scholars in educational institutions round the nation during such adverse conditions. The motto being; ‘the show must go on’.
