Managing Covid related morbidities, Mitigation and Home Schooling of Children among Dalits

Abstract

Since the outbreak of covid 19 pandemic, Dalits and Adivasis have been the most impacted. Therefore, it is imperative that the caste dynamics and social realities of the COVID-19 pandemic debate be clarified. The primary objective of this research is to determine the degree to which the Dalits are capable of adapting to the shift in their sources of livelihood that was brought on by the Covid-19 virus. The researchers also attempted to explore the viability of Homeschooling as an educational option for Dalit community pupils who were already attending schools. Dalits who live in colonies have a tough time gaining access to the public distribution system as well as medical services because of the restricted land resources available to them and the fact that their homes are located inside the city and village borders. It has been noticed that students attending public or publicly supported schools are more likely to be excluded from class regularly compared to children attending private schools. Innovative technologies have made the digital divide wider and more intractable.
