The development of a nation depends upon its educated and healthy labour force. Human developments indicators to a great extent play an important role in spearheading the development process of a nation. Of the various human development indicators, education needs special mention as it is a driving factor which can lead to healthy and skilled workforce capable enough to earn better income as well. UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 stresses on the importance to ensure an inclusive and equitable quality education. But the unexpected covid-19 pandemic has struck various sectors of the economy including the education sector delaying the achievement of this goal. This study tries to investigate the obstacles in the form of disparities which exist in education sector and to explore the digital divide which exist among rural-urban areas and between sex using secondary data from NSS and TRAI as well as suggest possible measures to deal with the problems. Variables like Net Attendance Ratio, Dropout Rates, Computer and Internet facility available etc. were used to carry out the study.
