We have to think from the point of student also whether they are able to understand the topic or not. Therefore, it is very necessary to designed our lectures according to students’ attitude, capability to understand perspective. It is very necessary to consider the preparations that schools and institutions, need to make in very short time available and to give assurance to students and parents is a major task. It is very important to make extra efforts for remote area schools as there is lack of technology in that areas. In ramping up the remote area teaching there should be use of asynchronous learning which works great in digital format. A survey was done and data was collected by questionnaire. After analysing the result, we have found that 75% of the students are not happy with the digital learning. Reason for not liking the digital platform is students has to face many problems of network issue, eye sight problem, screen freezing etc. Students also reported that lack of co-circular activity is major disadvantage of digital platform.
