The world is beset by what is clearly the worst pandemic of the past century. Both developed and developing nations are struggling with the spread of the n-Corona virus and the attendant risk to human health and lives. For emerging market economies such as India, a prolonged lock-down might lead to several additional challenges to peoples livelihoods, nutrition levels etc.
Hence for India it is imperative that we get back to a form of regular economic activity, rapidly, while controlling the spread of the contagion below a certain threshold that can be supported by our healthcare infrastructure and thereby reduce mortality rates in the country.
