Authors

Abstract
A once-in-a-century crisis like COVID-19 will
have enormous ramifications for the economy. With India employing around 90 per
cent of its workforce under the informal category, the impact goes beyond the
economy to social issues like rising unemployment and poverty (MoL&E). The
formal and organised sectors like hospitality, civil aviation, and automobiles
also have no shield and no response to the pandemic. To the serendipity,
agriculture rescued the Indian economy, providing employment and enough thrust
to rural households to sustain them at a bare minimum. Though agriculture and
IT came to the rescue, the impact of COVID-19 on the economy is unambiguous –
the worst. This blue moon incident demands appropriate Government intervention
to heal the wounds it created.
