This pandemic has built up the capacities of even smallest institution of the country, to go virtual, to devise mechanism to remain connected with the students, helping them to learn and grow in the changed situation, to take care of them as per the need of the time. Educational concern of the Indian institutions as a whole has evolved the new dimension to keep its significance dominant in the society among the youth. The aspiration for natural development of human beings even in changing situation to maintain its supremacy in God’s creation, has helped for evolution of education system, driven by technology, trust and will power. As all other mediums, physical and social both have been seized by the nature, the teachers, students, technology, relationships have taken their appropriate place to continue, with parental and institutional support. 

The innovations done by the members of educational institutions for online education, online examination, continue learning from distance, maintaining academic relevance through webinars and online conferences with peers shows their deliberate concern for education. Which shows the command of institutions to do in-congenial work for development of humanity. Such actions have been appreciated by learners upto large extent and helped them to remain connected to routine, not being stressed out by the disruptions.

Human Resources in academic institutions is flexible enough to accept the change and strong enough to sustain even in crisis and innovate to perform.
