It transgressed all spheres of human life by agreeing with the theory of survival of the fittest. Whatever was ready to adapt to the unfamiliar order survived this pandemic phase.

Online platforms and the virtual world become places of academic deliberations and technology-integrated learning become the new normal and the end-word of this era.

Along with the advancements, studies have been conducted from multi-dimensional perspectives about the merit, drawback, impact, and validity of this new mode of education. The present study seeks to explore the impact of the online mode of education on parents specifically working women parents.
