ABOUT THE NATIONAL SEMINAR

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in absolutely unexpected changes globally. In response to this global outbreak, the world has become more closely interconnected, the risks posed by infectious diseases epidemics have grown. Pandemics such as the COVID-19 know no borders, and are hard to address through individual and isolated country responses. It has brought in an impending economic crisis and recession. Social distancing, self-isolation and travel restrictions have led to a reduced workforce across all economic sectors and cost many jobs.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the longstanding structural drivers of health inequities, such as precarious and adverse working conditions, growing economic disparities. The Educational institutions have been closed down, and the need for commodities and manufactured products has decreased. In contrast, the need for medical supplies has significantly increased.

This National Seminar aims to provide a platform for various stakeholder – Government, Legal Professionals, NGO’s, Social Scientists and research scholars to come forward with comprehensive approach to deal with like situations.
