Introduction
Background of Study
Since last 2019 this world has been hit with this pandemic of COVID-19, and
the outcomes were never the same as before. The economic position of countries have
been declined and a lot of pressure has been taken by the government to make it
possibly as normal as it can be. People are very much adversely affected as businesses
were almost closed. This entire community has to cope-up with situation very wisely.
Initially when pandemic appeared people were very puzzled, shocked and
unprepared as this was an paradigm of the most scary situation anyone can encounter.
There was a time when the financial conditions deteriorated from person to person
and business to business. Apart from this mental stability was also very much
disturbed as it is contagious and spread from person to person. But thankfully, as days
passed we did not give up hope and come up with the possibilities to beat this
Pandemic by various precautionary measures and vaccinations.

adverse impact. Businesses, Enterprises, and Organizations are suffering very badly.
These are crucial days for all hence this prioritizes the need for awareness to be
highlighted locally. This topic is of immense importance and hence becomes a
priority in the field of education as a professional context. Yes, the forthcoming days
and the past days have made it significantly important to gain knowledge and to bring
awareness. Yes, COVID-19, is a pandemic that has disastrous effects on the mental
health of people, always fear avoiding crowds, as the disease is contagious and
spreads in multiple ways. There are multiple methods of awareness creating among
people regarding this Pandemic as a lot suffer financially and this has become a
serious concern for all. Though this topic has been researched many times but still the

future needs to be secured from this serious suffering that has been a cause of multiple
destruction, hence to avoid such mishaps in the future this needs further research.
Significance of the Study
The purpose of this proposed study is that it will bring awareness to people of
its severity. Its intensity in the future and the financial complexities with the mental
disturbances and how to overcome them in the upcoming days. This study will be
very useful in creating government policy for the future and how these changes are
being implied are having intense effects on the health of common people, businesses,
workers, employees, and labor. This is going to cover massive aspects which need
proper attention to secure the future of the Indian citizens. The ultimate purpose of
this proposed study is to refrain from the past and progress towards a better future.
Therefore, anyone can benefit from this study including the government when
implementing further policies for the future, keeping in mind how this Pandemic is
being a reason for destruction, how to prevent it in the future, and what role can the
people play in future to save and secure the environment, areas and what preventive
measures can be taken for future assistance.
Research question
How to be preventive in the future, and what precautionary measures
implementation will save this economy from recession and local suffering?.
Aims
The ultimate purpose is to make the Indian citizens secure from this Pandemic,
making the government realize that the policy of shutting down businesses for weeks,
months, and years exerts a lot of pressure on the common people damaging their
mental health, deteriorating their financial conditions and making them loose into the
competitive market. This proposed study will make them achieve a better scope and
purpose, better living standards, and a Pandemic-free lifestyle while living in the

situation, and surviving the circumstances becomes the most meaningful and realistic
approach in recent times. The purpose is to make Indian citizens self-esteemed, and
confident, and to boost the economy at its highest levels, generating jobs, making

Conclusion
Since Pandemic has come into light till date there has been tireless efforts
being made to survive this time the best. Coming to the government policies in Indian
citizens there are people even living below the poverty line and they are earning on
daily basis. Hence this segment has been very much affected with this series of
COVID-19 variants, their afterwards affects are most destructive when it comes to the
mental health or financial stability.
The government has to play the role right and safe for all but the initial days
were so intense that no one have imagine that life can be this difficult. The time that is
coming is hopefully better than what has just passed by. This has been possible with
the collective efforts of all. We wait to see a pandemic free world again soon and
thing being back to normal once again.
