Abstract Almost all fields improved during the COVID era as a result of the application of digital technology. Nearly all social gaps were filled. Since technology serves their requirements, a large number of individuals have embraced it; yet, there remains a digital divide among other ethnographic groups. The digital divide in India amongst various social categories was examined in this study. The outcomes of a meta-analytical investigation were ascertained. Information from several papers and discoveries from the COVID-19 era was used by researchers. The study examined the digital divide that exists between underprivileged caste groups and other groups on the first level—access to computers and the Internet—and the second level—soft skills to utilize computers and the Internet. Using a technique known as "nonlinear decomposition," this study also demonstrates
How caste-based variations in socioeconomic conditions contribute to the digital divide between different groups. The findings indicate that there is a significant digital divide in India, both at the first and second levels, between the lower caste groups and the general population. The non-linear decomposition results demonstrate that the social and economic marginalization of lower-caste groups in the past is the primary cause of India's caste-based digital divide. persons from disadvantaged caste groups make less money and have lower levels of education than persons from other caste groups, which accounts for more than half of the caste-based digital gap .The study's findings highlight the critical need to address the disparities in income and education across India's many castes in order to bridge the country's digital divide.
