    The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted India's large unorganized sector and daily wage laborers. Lockdowns were announced with little warning, stranding millions of migrant workers who lost their jobs and income. Most earn less than Rs. 400 per day, and over 80% feared running out of food before the lockdown ended. While the government has provided some relief funds, over 60% of affected workers were unaware of available assistance programs or how to access them. The lockdown has left many without work, food, or a way to return home, exacerbating their hardship during this crisis.

    IMPACT OF COVID 19 ON UNORGANISED SECTOR

    COVID-19 is a pandemic disease that is impacting in all countries. However, its intensity is varying from
    one country to another that is based on their social and economic infrastructural development along with
    the type of political regime in the country.

    Unfortunately our daily wage laborer and unorganised sector of the informal economy is very large!

    According to some study it could be around 60% of the Economy. It is never measured properly and has
    been deliberately neglected by successive Governments. This pandemic has hit them so badly! They lost
    their job, no income, no place to stay! Lockdown was announced with just 3 hours time and they could
    not leave. Millions of them were on road. With no transport they started walking! This was the greatest
    blunder ever by a Government!

    PROBLEMS FACED BY LABOURS due to COVID 19-

    Major Problems Faced by Labor Market in India (before covid 19) are Surplus Labour Force, Unskilled
    Labour, Lack of Absorption of Skilled Labour, Imperfections, Unemployment.

    As this covid 19 came into picture and government start restricts our movements. Here, Lockdown is
    merely the start of misery for India’s migrant laborers. India’s coronavirus outbreak, and therefore the
    ongoing 21-day lockdown to contain it, has shown a spotlight on the hard lifetime of its seasonal
    migrants. Over 80% of the country’s migrant and daily wage population fears that it'll run out of food
    before the top of this lockdown.

    Now let’s see the share of Indian daily wage workers as compared to their earning:-

    Rs 200-400 – 55%

    Rs 400-600 – 39%

    Rs 600 and above – 4%

    Below Rs 200 – 2%

    From the above data we will analyze that what percentage people are suffering due to this worst
    situation. (Covid -19).

    While the Indian government has tried to alleviate the pain of the migrants during the pandemic, by
    announcing the assistance of Rs1.7 lakh core. But an outsized number of these affected were also
    unaware of the government’s schemes meant to ease the Covid-19-led economic crises. Over 60% said
    that they had no information about these schemes or the way to access them.
    The impact of the coronavirus lockdown on India's migrant population -

    1. The people that don't finding any work are - 83.1%

    2. Run out of ration - 80.8%

    3. Not able to return to village or hometown - 47.8%

    4. Illness - 15.1%

    These are a number of the issues which are faced by Indian labors due to this covid 19 pandemic.
