Online learning platforms have accelerated tremendous growth since the inception of the Covid pandemic. Learning platforms such as Khan academy and BYJU's had shown significant rise in the enrolment figures of candidates willing to pursue online education. The Covid-19 pandemic, at one time, depicted a picture that online education is the only future as schools and colleges were forced to shut down. However, accessing online education was not easy for every student due to several hindrances. The right to access online education can be hindered by data packs, electricity etc. The state has to look into the fact that economic, cultural, or social barriers are not restrictions for a child to access online education. Online education has been emphasized in different educational policies; several judicial pronouncements but lack effective mechanism to put it in the right place. The most ignorant part is the collection, storage, and dissemination of students' personal data, as the shift from physical to online mode of education involves data transfer of students either directly or indirectly.
