Digital initiatives has improved sector: 1) Use of smart classrooms aid in practical learning and creative experiences. 2) Tele-education initiatives offer best teachers and curriculum across the length and breadth of country. E.g., Online channels available in the name of Diksha m.DD.

3Govt initiatives like Swayam Prabha, Diksha have helped upskill teachers, parents as well as students. 4) Use of 3-D learning models have enhanced thinking abilities and problem solving capabilities of students. 5) Vocational courses available further offer employability-friendly lessons. Limitations with digital initiatives: - Lack of connectivity in rural areas. - Insufficient amount of such programmes aired on television. - Dependency on single phone for educational as well as other uses. - Lack of digital infrastructure is also a challenge. - Disability or limited ability to concentrate on online media for long is also a hurdle. - Lack of technical education, support staff in schools and colleges further aggravate the problem of inaccessibility. - Insufficient digital devices in humble village families is a reality.

Thus, reformation of digital education is a novel step in the right direction but the education sector will need more concerted efforts and timely interventions to realise the Sustainable Development Goals and vision of "Shikshit Bharat, Samriddh Bharat" (Educated India, Prosperous India).
