This outbreak was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The countries around the world cautioned the public to take responsive care. The first Case of COVID-19 in India was reported on 30 January, 2020 in three towns of Kerela. This pandemic has deeply altered social and working environments in several ways. Social distancing policies, mandatory lockdowns, isolation periods, and anxiety of getting sick, along with the suspension of productive activity, loss of income, and fear of the future, jointly influence the mental health of citizens and workers. Workplace aspects can play a crucial role on moderating or worsening mental health of people facing the pandemic scenario. This paper sets the basis for a better understanding of the psychological conditions of teachers during the pandemic, integrating individual and social perspectives, and providing insight into possible individual, social, and occupational approaches to the psychological pandemic.

Introduction: No one would have guessed that a virus-like Covid-19 would come and withoutdifferentiating, it will alter the lifestyle of people. Due to Covid-19, many changes came to our world and Ittook some time for everyone to adopt the new normal. The pandemic has also impacted the educational systems of many countries as it forced educational institutions to adopt online remote learning to continue offering their services. This rapid adoption of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) as the primary resource in the teaching-learning process has evidenced several challenges for students and teachers,including tech-illiteracy and access to adequate technological infrastructure,and are expected to aggravate the previously existing learning disparities across regions.
