Various exercises are being done in the field of digital learning in Nepal since last one decade. Especially after covid 19, the government has also promoted online education for the learning of students. 

More than a dozen companies are working in the development of online education and digital content. However, it seems that digital learning has not yet been fully assimilated. 

As still in many areas, the government is not being able to provide educational materials and books at the school level for months; digital learning being prioritized seems to be a viable option. For this, there is a need to emphasize on infrastructural development and digital connectivity. The Government of Nepal has also included digital education in eight areas of work in the Digital Nepal Framework.
