&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The poor need food and money, not more loans. Only demand-side interventions will revive the economy.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Covid-19 pandemic is an unprecedented crisis that almost all countries are struggling to cope with. Like the rest of the world, India is fighting the spread of the disease and its adverse consequences on the health system and its finances. On the economic front, India was already facing a prolonged slowing down. Even before the pandemic touched its territories, the GDP growth rate had gradually decreased. Over the last four financial years, it dropped from 8.3% in 2016-17 to 7% and 6.1% in 2017-18 and 2018-19 respectively. The growth rate fell to 4.2% over 2019-20.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Since 25 March, India has imposed a nationwide lockdown in order to slow down the spread of the Novel Coronavirus which causes the Covid-19 disease. However, the infection only surged during the shutdown. The first Covid-19 infection was reported in January and now, in the first week of June, confirmed cases have crossed 2.39 lakhs. India has climbed to the 6th position among nations in terms of reported cases of Covid-19 infections. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Now, more than 90% of India&amp;rsquo;s workforce is in the informal sector. The nationwide lockdown stretching for over two months has snatched away the sources of income, food and even shelter from many of them, putting worker&amp;rsquo;s lives at stake. Millions of migrant workers returned to their homes in different regions of the country after the wheels of industry were jammed and other economic activities halted by the lockdown. Even as these poor and marginalised millions struggle for survival, cyclones and a locust crisis disproportionately impacted their livelihood in many states.&lt;/p&gt;

Only demand-side interventions will revive the economy.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Covid-19 pandemic is an unprecedented crisis that almost all countries are struggling to cope with. Like the rest of the world, India is fighting the spread of the disease and its adverse consequences on the health system and its finances. On the economic front, India was already facing a prolonged slowing down. Even before the pandemic touched its territories, the GDP growth rate had gradually decreased. Over the last four financial years, it dropped from 8.3% in 2016-17 to 7% and 6.1% in 2017-18 and 2018-19 respectively. The growth rate fell to 4.2% over 2019-20.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Since 25 March, India has imposed a nationwide lockdown in order to slow down the spread of the Novel Coronavirus which causes the Covid-19 disease. However, the infection only surged during the shutdown. The first Covid-19 infection was reported in January and now, in the first week of June, confirmed cases have crossed 2.39 lakhs. India has climbed to the 6th position among nations in terms of reported cases of Covid-19 infections. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Now, more than 90% of India&amp;rsquo;s workforce is in the informal sector. The nationwide lockdown stretching for over two months has snatched away the sources of income, food and even shelter from many of them, putting worker&amp;rsquo;s lives at stake. Millions of migrant workers returned to their homes in different regions of the country after the wheels of industry were jammed and other economic activities halted by the lockdown. Even as these poor and marginalised millions struggle for survival, cyclones and a locust crisis disproportionately impacted their livelihood in many states.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.newsclick.in/Economy-Clear%20Signal-Boost-Demand-Not-Loans?fbclid=IwAR2i9wll5qRgUTvjYM2EStQ03Nm3nYw7GzXfQeR6-e7XM93FKs1k7AXd8nY&quot; title=&quot;https://www.newsclick.in/Economy-Clear%20Signal-Boost-Demand-Not-Loans?fbclid=IwAR2i9wll5qRgUTvjYM2EStQ03Nm3nYw7GzXfQeR6-e7XM93FKs1k7AXd8nY&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

Like the rest of the world, India is fighting the spread of the disease and its adverse consequences on the health system and its finances. On the economic front, India was already facing a prolonged slowing down. Even before the pandemic touched its territories, the GDP growth rate had gradually decreased. Over the last four financial years, it dropped from 8.3% in 2016-17 to 7% and 6.1% in 2017-18 and 2018-19 respectively. The growth rate fell to 4.2% over 2019-20.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Since 25 March, India has imposed a nationwide lockdown in order to slow down the spread of the Novel Coronavirus which causes the Covid-19 disease. However, the infection only surged during the shutdown. The first Covid-19 infection was reported in January and now, in the first week of June, confirmed cases have crossed 2.39 lakhs. India has climbed to the 6th position among nations in terms of reported cases of Covid-19 infections. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Now, more than 90% of India&amp;rsquo;s workforce is in the informal sector. The nationwide lockdown stretching for over two months has snatched away the sources of income, food and even shelter from many of them, putting worker&amp;rsquo;s lives at stake. Millions of migrant workers returned to their homes in different regions of the country after the wheels of industry were jammed and other economic activities halted by the lockdown. Even as these poor and marginalised millions struggle for survival, cyclones and a locust crisis disproportionately impacted their livelihood in many states.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.newsclick.in/Economy-Clear%20Signal-Boost-Demand-Not-Loans?fbclid=IwAR2i9wll5qRgUTvjYM2EStQ03Nm3nYw7GzXfQeR6-e7XM93FKs1k7AXd8nY&quot; title=&quot;https://www.newsclick.in/Economy-Clear%20Signal-Boost-Demand-Not-Loans?fbclid=IwAR2i9wll5qRgUTvjYM2EStQ03Nm3nYw7GzXfQeR6-e7XM93FKs1k7AXd8nY&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&#039;,

On the economic front, India was already facing a prolonged slowing down. Even before the pandemic touched its territories, the GDP growth rate had gradually decreased. Over the last four financial years, it dropped from 8.3% in 2016-17 to 7% and 6.1% in 2017-18 and 2018-19 respectively. The growth rate fell to 4.2% over 2019-20. Since 25 March, India has imposed a nationwide lockdown in order to slow down the spread of the Novel Coronavirus which causes the Covid-19 disease. However, the infection only surged during the shutdown. The first Covid-19 infection was reported in January and now, in the first week of June, confirmed cases have crossed 2.39 lakhs. India has climbed to the 6th position among nations in terms of reported cases of Covid-19 infections.   Now, more than 90% of India’s workforce is in the informal sector.
