Abstract

The closing down of schools during the Covid-19 pandemic meant a complete reliance on online teaching for students to ensure that formal education remained as little disrupted as possible. Simultaneously, remaining at home for extended periods of time meant that children were spending more and more time online, for socialisation and entertainment. This has inevitably led to children being vulnerable to online abuse and bullying. Shruti Das, Assistant Project Coordinator at the Centre for Social Research (CSR), New Delhi, discusses these global issues of concern and possible ways forward in the context of CSR’s work in India.
