The aftermath of lock down during Covid 19 is expected to create lacuna in terms of distributive justice and resource sharing. The percentage of the "under privileged" is bound to get larger because of isolation alienation and lack of high tech and advance information technology products. Simply making these products accessible or available for the underprivileged non-English speaking community is not sufficient. One to one teaching offered online and offline is crucial to flatten the curve of educational disparity.
