While the Higher Educational Institutes (HEIs) in West Bengal address various issues relating to Students’ motivation, interests and performance, the pandemic impact paves ways to explore Technology-Adapted teaching-learning frameworks to empower the faculties to involve students in teaching-learning-performance paradigm. Harris and DiMarco (2010) have indicated that Educational institutes have to have locking out danger to keep students safe in crisis. This is an indication that Educational institutes have to adopt new strategies to help the students to be safe in environment and help them to cope with their studies away from the HEI environment.

The variables used in in the current research has the Cronbach's Alpha N of Items (57) reliability Statistics value is .908. On the basis of quantitative analysis involving correlation analysis with control situations like years of operation and gender perception and factor analysis, the researcher has enumerated the data outcomes. The data findings are: the need assessment of Pandemic impact, interventions through ICT tools and technqiues to bridge the learning gap, attitude of teachers towards ICT teaching techniques and the mean value of ICT tools used to increase the active participation of Students online. Thus the current research has explored the Pandemic situation and its influence towards discovering newer technological solutions to bridge the learning gap and help the Students to be innovative through digital platforms and become merely a Student-centred approach.
