Abstract:
The present study has analysed the process of e-learning in the rural areas done by the youths and investigated the problems that impede the accessibility. It was conducted in randomly selected Seven Senior Secondary Schools of the Udaipur district of Rajasthan. A sample of 140 rural youth was selected for the study. Findings of the study revealed that the majority of the respondents’ mothers were illiterate (70%) whereas respondents’ fathers were educated up to the primary level (34.29%) and secondary level (20 %). It was observed that 92.85 per cent of the respondents possessed smartphones. It was reported that while accessing e-learning respondents always faced the problem of difficult vocabulary and content not being available in the preferred language (29.28-33.57%). Respondents also mentioned that they always get stress on their eyes, increased fatigue levels due to e-learning and neck muscles were affected adversely by continuously studying via e-learning.
