Introduction
The stringent lockdown imposed in March and lasting for over two months, hit lives and
livelihoods across the country. As a result, a greater number of people are expected to slip below
the poverty line in India, according to various estimates. Experts believe that it is crucial to focus
on the most vulnerable sections of the society which would require changes in development policies
of the Centre, civil society, and corporates. Deloitte India in a report- Social response to Covid-19--
lays down a roadmap to recovery in the post covid-19 world. The report looks at what sectors need
to respond to the crisis and recover from it. The report highlights short, medium and long term
plans of what corporate, government and civil society can do to implement programmes that can
benefit the social sector. The lockdown led to high rates of unemployment as businesses shut down
and suffered due to lack of economic activities and consumer demand. It also led to reverse
migration from cities to rural centres. The report suggests that to thrive, the rural economy has to be
put at the forefront along with adequate skill development for vulnerable sections.
