The role and sphere of online education is growing at all levels of education. The outbreak of COVID-19 has put on hold the classroom education as students are away from campuses. Online education is the only method to continue teaching-learning during the present time. The Ministry of Human Resources and Development (MHRD), Government of India and the University Grants Commission (UGC) have taken many steps to implement and popularise online education in the country in the past and have increased the focus in the circumstances caused due to COVID-19. The INFLIBNET Centre of the UGC has taken numerous initiatives for delivering education online to the doorsteps of the learners in the country even during the lock down period caused due to COVID-19. The present paper elaborates the role INFLIBNET Centre played for delivering education online.Keywords
