The coronavirus pandemic is in its initial stages in India and its effects are being felt in each and every activity in our country. The biggest worry is about the welfare of the people in general and helping the poor and out of the job people in particular. Seeing the gravity of the situation Govt has announced to form an economic task force at higher levels under the ministry of finance which can ponder and formulate some immediate package or financial help for the people who are directly or indirectly affected by the present crisis. It is evident that due to the health threats many business outlets are closed and only those which are of essential nature are open. In this situation many people have lost their jobs. The people from far away villages who are engaged in cities in petty jobs are finding themselves unemployed and have no other recourse except to return to their villages which itself is a risky thing as travelling is the most risky activity having more chances of getting the virus infections. Likewise there are many people who are not only jobless but trapped in a place where there is no one to help them. Govt has taken the step of forming an economic task force to address many such issues.

It is expected that many NGOs and other charitable organisation would also extend help in such a situation but seeing the massiveness of this problem it is necessary that Govt takes a stock of the situation and announces some reliefs and other measures during this tough time.

The economic task force has to come up with such measures immediately to help the needy ones at this juncture. Generally, such task forces are supposed to announce certain financial aids to the affected people. Some of the measures could be -

1. To provide basic food and amenities to the lower strata of the work force who are now out of the jobs and stranded here and there.

2. In the remote corners of the country the poor people who are depending on the monthly remittances of their sole bread earner family member, are to be taken care through village level gram-panchayat network.

3. The activities of many national level agencies is to be channelised for the common cause of helping the economically backward members of the society.

4. As many of the Govt projects would be postponed or closed the large workforce employed there is to be suitably re-employed in less vulnerable areas.

5. In such difficult times the transportation of material from one place to another and its distribution to the needy becomes the prime activity and this has to be considered a thrust area by the task force.

6. India is a big country and many people because of the health threat might try to flee to other places only to make the situation worse. Task force has to devise help and support at local levels to arrest that trend.

It is clear that the job of the task force is herculean in nature but if good measures are taken and citizens also cooperate and support then definitely things would improve in this respect and economic task force would be a boon for the affected people.

Economic Task Force will be responsible for the detailed studies of the impact of economic turmoil due to the spread of COVID 19. The areas are to be divided in the sub areas and each sub area, there will be a study how the growth of the economy can be sustained so as to take care of the crisis of the affected people.
