Reported cases in India are much lower than the global incidence rate. The pandemic has also been contained geographically with negligible “community” transmission. Prime Minister of India Mr. Narendra Modi leads a pandemic response that is historic in its ambition and complexity. Technology and administrative methods are supplemented by the strengths of our collective consciousness and our ancient philosophy. • Impact of COVID 19 on Indian Economy? • The impact of coronavirus pandemic on India has been largely disruptive in terms of economic activity as well as a loss of human lives. Almost all the sectors have been adversely affected as domestic demand and exports sharply plummeted with some notable exceptions where high growth was observed • Impact of migration in spreading the disease? • The exposure of refugees and migrants to the risks associated with population movements – psychosocial disorders, reproductive health problems, higher newborn mortality, drug abuse, nutrition disorders, alcoholism and exposure to violence – increase their vulnerability to no communicable diseases (NCDs)
