ABSTRACT
This research paper deals with the topic entitled "A Study on Role of ICT in enabling
Judicious Collaboration of Teachers and Students with Special Reference to Primary
School in COVID-19". As we know that in 2019, the Corona Virus Disease was declared as a
Public Health Emergency of International Concern, which stopped everything and it was in

that ICT has played in enabling collaboration of students and teachers to sustain over the
social distancing due to disease COVID-19. Information and Communication Technology
has not only enabled children's education but also it has come up with productive results
in some way. To take the study ahead, a self-made questionnaire was constructed for the
verification of the hypothesis formed for this study. A sample of 50 students and 50
teachers is considered from the Primary Schools of Greater Gwalior. It is found that there is
significant role of ICT in enabling judicious collaboration of teachers and students of
primary school in COVID-19.

number of students which is not at all possible in a physical classroom. Using ICT tools are
