Description	Education is the fundamental need for achieving equality in society and promoting national development. For every child between 6 and 14 years of age, the 'Right to Education' is a fundamental right in India. Higher education has a vital role in human and societal well-being and for the development of the country. India has the third-largest educational system in the world, which is changing in terms of digitalization. Digitalization is crucial in the education sector to sustain itself in a competitive world. During the COVID-19 pandemic, digitalization was the only way to continue classes and studies. Educational Practitioners who were not that familiar with digital tools and technologies have faced a lot of challenges. This chapter throws light on challenges faced by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) educators in adopting digitalization and suggests some measures to alleviate the issues. Data was collected through telephonic interviews from eight educators working in HEIs. Thematic analysis was applied on interview transcripts, and five themes were identified: advantages of digital learning, benefits of traditional learning over digital learning, challenges of digitalization, measures to alleviate challenges, and prospects in digitalization.
