“…In India, the dichotomy of the urban–rural educational disparity during the pandemic has been caused by an increase in already existing unequal access to visual learning and online facilities in rural areas during the pandemic, thus negatively impacting students’ education and mental health (Sarma & Das, 2021). According to Bandyopadhyay et al (2021), despite numerous attempts by organizations to provide rural students access to digital educational resources the external influencing factors of social, economic, political, and sociopsychological disadvantages of rural India have mostly been ignored.…”

The present study investigates the perception of experience of depression, anxiety, and stress (DAS) among young adults (18–22 years of age) from different locales in India during the global COVID-19 pandemic. The sample included 1,020 participants (603 males and 417 females) with 470 identified talented students (ITS) and 550 nonidentified students (NiS) from Indian villages, towns, and cities. multivariate analysis of variance and ordinal logistic regression analysis were carried out to understand the differences between the various subcategories and the probability of having high negative emotional states among those groups. Results point toward varying levels of DAS depending on whether they were ITS or NiS, whether male or female, and whether they came from Indian villages, towns, or cities. Both similarities and dissimilarities with other studies were observed, and the results provide insights into the effect of the pandemic on the mental health of young adults in India. The importance of developing psychological support systems for all students is implicated in the findings of the study.

“…Rural education in India has mostly ignored the context of implementation and remained negligent of the external influencing factors, like social, economic, political, and sociopsychological, that mark the disadvantages of rural India and subsequently hamper rural educational practices (Bandyopadhyay et al, 2021). Due to fewer transport facilities in rural areas, most children have to walk miles to reach a government-funded school, which significantly demotivates them to attend school regularly.…”

The educational system of rural areas in India especially in the Himalayan region, is facing various problems like infrastructure, transportation, communication, and quality education. In the present paper, the focus has been given to identifying the problems and challenges faced by rural schools and factors affecting the quality of education in Himalayan region with particular reference to the Paddar sub-division in Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory. Using purposive sampling technique, data were collected from 19 schools, with 180 students as a sample. The findings of the study revealed that low educational qualifications of both parents, low socioeconomic status and low occupational status of parents were the major factors affecting the quality of education. Natural obstacles like harsh winters, heavy snowfall, a high mountainous area, and a lack of transportation also hinder the progress of education. Hence, there is a need to bring structural changes in the rural schools of Jammu & Kashmir.
