IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON EDUCATION OF UNDERGRADUATE TEXTILE STUDENTS AND ITS RELATIVE EFFECTS

The education sector along with other major sectors of India is badly affected by the pandemic which has forced us to stay in lockdown. This has widely affected the Textile industry as well as created a bad impact on the undergraduate, PG and Ph.D. students. Not only the online education but students are also facing troubles for their internships and job placements which create negative tendencies in the minds of students. The Education sector is struggling to keep up in this unpredictable situation by adapting new digitized approaches for the teaching-learning process. We are the faces for shaping the future of the Textile world hence being a student, I decided to present you the first-hand experience of this process via a survey research model. Textile undergraduates from various institutes are surveyed to note down their take and compare the current with expected outcomes. There are many dimensions such as socio-economic, psychological and other physical aspects for this research which will be elaborated in the paper. Although there is continuity in this new way of virtual classes, there are many limitations observed which hampers the efficiency of this new teaching method. Both the positive and negative impacts of COVID-19 are discussed and some notable suggestions are mentioned to carry out educational activities with the support of technical aids and educational leaders in respective institutes during and after the pandemic as it is an uncertain situation.
