Abstract: COVID-19 lockdown has made really a challenging situations for everyone and in every sector of the economy. In the same way, education sector is also not untouched from the effect of covid-19 lockdown. Lockdown has made education of the students a great challenge in front of the teachers. Although, teachers are making efforts to educate the students from home during lockdown by using various online methods. The paper was conducted to know the perception of teachers and their experiences of teaching students online during the lockdown. A questionnaire is prepared to find out how the teachers are managing the students and what the challenges they are facing during online teaching? To conduct the investigation 200 questionnaires were sent online to teachers of different public and private universities and colleges of Uttrakhand and out of that 161 responses were analysed. The analysis represents the impact of online education on the perception of teachers on the basis of various factors (Diversifying Knowledge, Technical Knowledge, Comfortability, Communication Gap, Teacher�s Burden and Working Hour). The analysis was carried out with One Way ANOVA test in SPSS 20. The t-test was used to know the perception of teacher�s on online education through demographics. From the analysis it was revealed that teachers believe that online education is actually diversifying knowledge of the teachers and increasing their technical knowledge but it also has increases the working hours of the teachers as the online connection has reduced the communication gap between the students & teachers throughout the day. The study also concludes that young teachers are more actively participating in the online education to teach the students. This may be due to the reason of their familiarity with the technology. Overall study says that the teachers are taking online education positively and they are actively participating in shaping the future of students during COVID-19 lockdown.
