This
is a study conducted by Society for Social and Economic
Research (SSER). SSER has requested researchers who
have been conducting field-based studies of villages
and the rural economy to reach out to informants in
their study areas over telephone and obtain information
on what was happening in the context of COVID-19 Pandemic.
Each researcher has been asked to obtain a quick assessment
of the impact COVID-19-related measures are having
on lives of people in their study villages. The aim
of gathering village-level information from across
the country, and presenting them in the form of short
reports, is to provide an initial account of the different
dimensions of rural life during COVID-19 pandemic.
SSER hopes that these scholars will follow up this
work through more detailed studies whenever it is
possible, these initial reports are invaluable sources
of information about the situation in Indian villages.
