Covid 19 has unleashed unprecedented challenges in terms of sharply dwindling employment and health care vulnerability in India, as never seen before. The closest parallel is Economic Depression of the 1930s. The Government of India has announced a series of fiscal stimulus to resuscitate the most vulnerable sections of Indian economy like peripatetic migrant laborers, Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), street vendors, small farmers and unskilled MNREGA workers. This paper specifically looks at the likely impact of Rs.41000/- crore additional allocations to by Finance Minister in April 2020 MNREGA in mitigating disruption caused to about 80 million migrant workers. It also takes stock of allocation to National Health mission; its poor impact on Human Development Index (HDI), high Infant Mortality Rate (IMR), Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) compared to global trends and suggests a way forward. The paper makes a strong case to eschew populist moves like relying on doles and Universal Basic Income (UBI), but instead opt for a strong push to neglected public sector investment in merit goods like good primary health care and quality grassroots education, sanitation and skilling. It makes a strong pitch to make right to health care a fundamental right and change our public policy discourse in health care from insurance based to building adequate health infrastructure, as is in vogue in NHS (National Health Scheme) of UK [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the health care sector predictive analytics is always a need but right now in times of novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic it became a necessity. During the early surge of the COVID-19, around the world many hospitals are facing problems to predict the exact number of required ventilators and bed capacity especially in countries like India where mostly government healthcare units are in poor shape. Various models were implemented based on the technologies available but in regions with large populations these models are not appropriate and are unable to give accurate predictions. This paper discusses a predictive analytical model which can be used to facilitate hospital's prediction power in determining the ventilator requirements for COVID-19 patients, using the provided data from hospitals. This paper aims on the implementation of a predictive algorithm based on the available data proportion of COVID-19 patients admitted in ICU and hospital for determination of required number of ventilators in advance. The implementation is carried out using a supervised machine learning technique called random forest regression algorithm. Moreover based on the model's prediction and the current supply of ventilators in hospitals, additional demand for ventilators could be prepared in advance for critical patients which may require it at any time. And the predicted increased demand of ventilators can be produced by the supplier industry, it is an example of industry intelligence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the Covid-19 pandemic, most of the population in the country has lost their livelihood. A lack of income sources and the closing of industries led to hardship. Unpredictable natural crises had a significant impact on business growth and profitability, and simultaneously it has led to a rise in insolvencies and unemployment. Entrepreneurs have emerged as the primary contributors in generating sustainable livelihood in the post-Covid-19 pandemic with their practical innovations, techniques and creating income opportunities for others. It is essential to support MSMEs (micro, small, and medium-sized firms) in India because of their importance to the country's economic growth, job creation, and ability to manufacture globally competitive goods. The majority of women populations are involved in the development of micro-level enterprises. Rural women entrepreneurs have emerged as a comparatively prosperous occurrence and becoming increasingly relevant in India. This paper is based on the West Singhbhum district of Jharkhand state and grounded on the study population's primary and secondary data. The report aims to identify the impact of covid-19 on small entrepreneurs and describe various available income opportunities that can be generated through micro-entrepreneurial activity among rural women. The expected concluding remark of this paper would be suggesting the necessity of micro-entrepreneurship options as an integral part of the source of income among women in the rural scenario.

COVID-19 is threatening economic globalization. Global production networks are being disrupted on a never-before-seen scale as a result of simultaneous shocks to supply and demand caused by containment measures. The pandemic has highlighted how globally interconnected the flow of goods and services has become vulnerable, and countries are now reframing their international trade strategies to handle economic shocks post pandemic. The drop in FDI will be especially hard on developing countries. FDI inflows to developing countries are expected to fall even more than the global average, given that sectors severely impacted by the pandemic account for a larger share of FDI inflows in developing countries. Also, over the last few decades, developing countries have become more dependent on FDI. Between 1985 and 2017, FDI inflows to developing countries increased from 14 billion to 690 billion US dollars (in current prices). This represents an increase in share of global FDI inflows from 25% to 46%. The rise in FDI to developing countries is being supported by an increase in offshoring and global fragmentation of economic activities, particularly in the manufacturing and services sectors. The drop in global FDI is thus closely related to disruptions in global supply chains, which we have also seen as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper is an attempt to review the impact of current pandemic on FDI inflows in India. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

India is in the midst of a conflict for its future economic and social relations one year after the Covid-19 pandemic began. During this time, the Indian government promoted policies that exacerbated labour exploitation and increased inequality. Both past economic crises, experience and early signs of labour market and social effects during the present epidemic, implies that the COVID19 crisis will disproportionately affect immigrants and their offspring. Prior battles to replicate conditions for accumulation and resolve the social reproduction dilemma can be traced back to these measures. This paper contends that this process will likely continue long after India and other countries have recovered economically from the pandemic, and that these contestations may provide possibilities for uniting struggles across existing boundaries. A pneumonia outbreak of unknown origin was reported in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, in December 2019. Epidemiological evidence linked cases of pneumonia to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market. Inoculation of respiratory materials into human airway epithelial cells, Vero E6 and Huh7 cell lines, resulted in the isolation of a novel respiratory virus, which was later identified as a novel coronavirus linked to SARS-CoV after genome analysis (SARS-CoV-2).

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected global tourism, and the Kashmir Valley in India, renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and cultural richness, was no exception to the disruptions caused by the crisis. This abstract aims to present a sustainable approach to understanding the impact of tourism on the Kashmir Valley during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study begins by examining the pre-pandemic tourism landscape in the region, highlighting the significance of the industry to the local economy and livelihoods. Subsequently, the adverse effects of the pandemic on tourism, including travel restrictions, lockdowns, and reduced visitor inflows, are analyzed. To address the challenges posed by the pandemic, a sustainable approach to tourism in the Kashmir Valley is proposed. This approach emphasizes the need to strike a delicate balance between revitalizing the tourism sector and preserving the region's natural and cultural heritage. Sustainable tourism practices, such as promoting community-based tourism initiatives, encouraging eco-friendly accommodations, and supporting local artisans, are crucial components of this proposed approach. Furthermore, the study explores the potential of digital technologies and online platforms to support the revival of tourism in the region by promoting virtual experiences and responsible travel practices. Additionally, collaborations between the government, local communities, and tourism stakeholders are advocated to ensure a coordinated and inclusive response to the crisis. The findings underscore the importance of adopting sustainable practices as the Kashmir Valley emerges from the pandemic's impact on its tourism sector. A sustainable approach to tourism not only aids in rebuilding the region's economy but also safeguards its natural environment and cultural heritage, creating a resilient and responsible tourism ecosystem for the future. By embracing sustainability principles, the region can mitigate the pandemic's adverse effects on tourism while fostering long-term growth that respects the delicate balance between economic development and environmental and cultural conservation.

History of business economic cycles suggests that the market economy is subjected to fluctuations and that can be observed and predicted more meaningfully for the understanding of behavioral interactions of economic agents including institutions. Considerable amount of empirical analysis pertaining to firms' growth, expansion and survival during recession has demonstrated growth potentials of the firms which are ideally synchronized with all the operational areas of the firm's conducts and performances while focus has been laid down more on production, labor productivity and market share. Our proposed agenda is to examine how strategies have influenced the competition and competitiveness under broad scenario of recession in India nearly for five years and more particularly after the impact of covid-19. The simultaneous equation model is constructed which comprises of structural specifications consistent with the theory by netting the framework that are compatible and coherent. Persistent dynamics produced in the market by consumer, producer and retailer has a long bearing on firms' behavior both in terms of its strategy and long-term objectives. Although, combinations of strategies adopted during recession reveal both price and non-price competition strategies have been followed aggressively, as per our estimates, cut throat price competition strategies have evolved in complementing the firms' strategic positioning and market competition.

The corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is having a profound effect on all aspects of society, including mental health and physical health. We explore the psychological, social, and neuro-scientific effects of COVID-19 and set out the immediate priorities and longer-term strategies for mental health science research. These priorities were informed by surveys of the public and an expert panel convened by the India Academy of Medical Sciences and the mental health research charity, MQ: Transforming Mental Health, in the first weeks of the pandemic in the India in March, 2020. We urge India research funding agencies to work with researchers, people with lived experience, and others to establish a high level coordination group to ensure that these research priorities are addressed, and to allow new ones to be identified over time. The need to maintain high-quality research standards is imperative. International collaboration and a global perspective will be beneficial. An immediate priority is collecting high quality data on the mental health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic across the whole population and vulnerable groups, and on brain function, cognition, and mental health of patients with COVID-19. There is an urgent need for research to address how mental health consequences for vulnerable groups can be mitigated under pandemic conditions, and on the impact of repeated media consumption and health messaging around COVID-19. Discovery, evaluation, and refinement of mechanistically driven interventions to address the psychological, social, and neuro-scientific aspects of the pandemic are required. Rising to this challenge will require integration across disciplines and sectors, and should be done together with people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
