It took only days to a few months, for the coronavirus to spread across the globe from it's place of origin, Wuhan city, China. Though, India is not among the worst affected countries of coronavirus, it is still a major Public Health emergency which pose a serious threat of crippling the nation's economy. A densely populated country like India, cannot afford getting it's population infected with coronavirus, as that will have an enormous strain in existing healthcare facilities. Although the government of India has implemented complete lockdown, there are many economic concerns to be addressed. Even though, relief fund was announced, the nation's huge population could use additional financial support, to take care of their essential needs like groceries, provisions and medicines. The livelihood, employment and income of many citizens remains questionable. This article attempts to give a socio-economic perspective of the coronavirus pandemic in India.
从其起源地中国武汉市开始，冠状病毒仅用了几天到几个月的时间就蔓延到了全球。尽管印度并非受冠状病毒影响最严重的国家之一，但它仍然是一个重大的公共卫生紧急事件，对国家经济造成严重破坏构成严重威胁。像印度这样人口密集的国家，无法承受其人口感染冠状病毒，因为这将给现有的医疗设施带来巨大压力。尽管印度政府已实施全面封锁，但仍有许多经济问题需要解决。即使宣布了救济基金，该国庞大的人口仍可能需要额外的财政支持，以满足他们的基本需求，如食品杂货、生活用品和药品。许多公民的生计、就业和收入仍然成问题。本文试图从社会经济角度审视印度的冠状病毒疫情。
