摘要:Purpose - The idea of blended learning which originated in post-independence India to supplement traditional “gurukul system” used for face-to-face instruction experienced a challenge during Covid 19 since March 2020. Blended learning, though an old adage, has gained relevance in this fast-changing environment. This pedagogy has become a prominent alternative for all levels of higher education across the globe. As a result, it has become an obvious choice not only for the academicians, but all stakeholders involved in the teaching-learning process. The same concept has been promulgated in National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) in India, as an alternative educational practice combining digital learning tools with traditional classroom teaching. The new NEP 2020 has stressed on student centric policy providing the students an opportunity to pursue their career in their area of interest. Blended learning programmes are meant for supporting social issue, economic viability and different formats of environmental dimension leading to a sustainable learning ecosystem, thus preserving environmental resources in the global arena. However, the efficacy of the blended mode and its effectiveness for Gen Z is yet to be ascertained and measured.
