Economically speaking, India is faced today with perhaps its greatest emergency since independence and ever since the pandemic has sneaked into the Indian Territory; it has claimed thousands of lives across the nation, virtually bringing the world economy to its knees with millions of people under lockdown. With thousands of death and challenges of not so well equipped medical system, this pandemic will devastate us financially as an economy and a nation. This paper examines the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy in general and the Indian economy in particular. It appraises the stimulus packages announced by the central government and assesses the potential impact of the shock on various segments of the economy government. It spells out policy changes to survive the downturn like to reduce uncertainty and improve growth scenarios by mobilizing all macroeconomic levers like fiscal, monetary and structural policies and retool and fortify the economy. It also emphasizes sharing and implementing best practices to support workers both employed and unemployed to name a few so that we can together beat this virus back and create a more healthy and hopeful tomorrow.
In this study, engineering students from universities all around India will have their reading interests and habits examined. Reading habits have changed as a result of technology; the most popular change is the rise of text reading from computer screens. Teachers and students face a variety of difficulties and opportunities as a result of the widespread use of screen reading. The usage of annotations and other forms of text interaction by engineering students when reading academic publications is examined in this work along with their general reading preferences, habits, and attitudes. The opinions of 109 students who participated in an online survey were examined. The report highlights a number of issues with engineering students' preferences and habits, and how those issues affect their capacity for critical thought. The researcher presented recommendations to encourage reading habits among engineering students in the continually technologically driven environment of today after conducting research to acquire a thorough overview of millennials' reading preferences.
