Description :
Near about last two years COVID-19 is a popular term to the present day world. Our day to day life has been totally disrupted due to the outbreak of COVID-19. All are closed due to the announcement of lockdown such as Industries, transportation, hotel, restaurant, offices, schools, colleges, universities, domestic house- keeping, shops and we have become bound to stay safe and secure at home. In this period rural economy has been suffering a lot, there is no clear idea yet on the incidence of the disease in the rural areas. Irrespective of any such incidence, rural areas have also come to bear a major brunt of the lockdown imposed since March 25. With hordes of migrants returning to rural areas, there could be the double-whammy of the spread of Covid-19 and the worsening of the socio-economic situation. Reverse immigration will put undue pressure on the rural economy, leaving many people in extreme poverty and rural economy in India. As per report of lockdown the informal rural economy is most affected. The central government’s refusal to recognize the crisis and its mismanagement of the crisis has exacerbated the suffering of the people and aggravated the crisis.
