Kumar, Vijay (2020): Impact of COVID-19 in India: An Analysis of the Adversely Affected States and Districts.

Abstract

The progressive spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has created havoc with a high mortality rate worldwide. Countries took measures like the lockdown/shutdown of the economies, including India, which in turn badly hit the lower-income groups and daily wage earners especially the internal migrants. This study focuses specifically on the impact of different sectors in four states and six districts with a large number of COVID-19 cases in India. To emerge from this crisis, the paper would be analysing the situation and providing policy recommendations as well.
