A Study on The Impact of Lockdown in Various Sectors of Indian Economy

Life before COVID 19 wasn’t as traumatic as it became after the pandemic struck. The outbreak of COVID 19 has affected the socio-economic conditions of the entire country. The lockdown and social distancing virtually made the Indian economy inaccessible leaving no sector unaffected including the agricultural sector, manufacturing units, and service sectors to MSMEs, transport sector, education system and many more. The aim of the current study is to assess how the lockdown has affected the various sectors in the Indian Economy through a survey of available literatures addressing this issue. It is also observed from various literatures that the pandemic showed the economy how important role has played by digital connectivity and internet access to move on from the pandemic and go beyond.
