The pandemic period characterized by the sudden spread out of the most virulent type of coronavirus has brought the world house arrest, sloth the pace of the growing and developing economy suddenly. People were not ready to tackle the situation, so many mishaps, destruction, and mortality rates increased with unknown leaps and bounds, to which no one could find a solution unless and until vaccines came out. The pandemic slaughtered the education system, job losses, and slashed economic growth all over the world. The high point of the discussion of this piece of paper is to discuss how the education system was badly affected, institutions were closed down, the school dropout rate increased, the family system collapsed, and the student community became teacher less, guide less and mentor less. The system of education from the jeopardized situation came alive with the help of the internet and e-learning. The social infrastructure of India comprises a huge digital divide due to disproportionate economic structures like the rich, upper middle class, middle class, below the poverty line, etc. The people belonging to middle-class strata earn their living for regular livelihood and not for fashion or maintaining the status quo. The study aims to identify the impact of electronic learning or e-learning on the socioeconomic strata or infrastructure of India. The propensity of using electronic media for learning suddenly increased during the pandemic, there was a stiff growth in the sale of smartphones, and every family member managed their expenses to maintain smartphones for their office use complying with work-from-home norms, educational purposes, and other social communication purposes. The education sector could be managed from the effect of lockdown by the use of e-learning methodologies, the traditional classroom transaction practices reached the extremely remote corner of the household with the advent of e-learning. Each and every household member got aware of the usage of digital devices and learned the value of using the devices for the necessary purpose. This study highlights the issues related to e-learning solutions. This includes considering e-learning in relation to education and society, and the changes faced and acknowledged by the education system. The study then provides an overview of the impact of e-learning on the socioeconomic strata of Indian society.
