The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on India, both in terms of its extent and nature. This book explores the pandemic's effects on society and the economy, offering suggestions for effective management practices. However, it also highlights deficiencies in development fundamentals in India, particularly in health, education, public spending quality, taxation orientation, and external trade involvement across states. These deficiencies create an inbuilt bottleneck toward the creation of a more equal society. The pandemic has exacerbated these issues, highlighting the need for urgent action. The book provides insights into how these deficiencies were expectedly exacerbated by the sudden negative shock of the pandemic. It is of interest to researchers, students, policy makers, and non-government entities involved in mitigating the effects of the pandemic in the socioeconomic sphere.
