The work efficiency is gradually improved in some parts as now person can sit at their home and complete the allotted tasks and assignments. As we all know in forthcoming years technology will play a magnificent role in each and every individual’s life, this pandemic is helping the generation to pursue the best out of themselves.
The cosmic spread of this virus also made us realize the true essence of family members and the close ones. We all were so much occupied in living “the life” that we forgot to live the meaningful and genuine time with our loved ones. The life became so hopping due to which the free time for the family felt like dream, but due to this lockdown where everyone is confined to their houses resulted in the reunion of the families. It ensued the relationship between the loved ones to a great extent, however the medium is virtual but still it cheered the reconnection among friends, family and retrospect. Provided a chance to care about our loved ones and enjoy some leisure time.
Some economical requisites due to this rife were on the oil industry and criminal activities too. The prices of fuel diminished significantly. It ensued the cheap prices of fuel in the country plus the amount of air pollution due the exhaustive use of vehicles was now controlled and lessened the same. Also, the rate of criminal activities has dwindled. Delhi police has only reported 2000 cases including theft, robbery etc. Since March 15,2020.

With context to India, a enormous contribution to the industrial sector will be perceived. Because of the blame game and speculations against China for the intentional spread of virus, many companies are contriving to shift their manufacturing units from China to India and other countries like Vietnam, Thailand etc. Billion-dollar companies like apple, Microsoft are now planning to shift to India. This will act as a major investment into revival of Indian economy and wealth. Lately we have observed that relations among USA and India has improved in terms of trading and in providing necessary needs, this will definitely act a positive point when the shifting will be accomplished. Moreover, another point of attraction for international business is cheap labour and easy availability of resources. Plus, Indian government provides agreeable tax benefits for the outside industries.
Due to this disastrous virus, Indian government has now started focusing more on local population. This pandemic sought to prove a boon for localism. As earlier the local class was not provided with the accurate services and incentives because of undue reasons, now they are majorly looked up on. Various budgets and schemes are contrived in order to provide free food facilities, stay, and incentives for daily life for the needy class. The development of rural class has started. Farmers are allocated with needful grains and other necessary commodities in order to run smooth cultivation and farming. Definitely in the epoch of post pandemic the locals will be benefited a lot and a better life, which ultimately leads to enriched India.
Definitely this aeon of time will never be forgotten and has created an unforgettable acquaintance in every individual’s mind which is super difficult to forget. The world has come to a screeching halt. Due to this disastrous virus the lives of innocents were wiped away. No age group was left out from its influence, the pathetic conditions wherein some patients were fortunate enough to survive and other dreadfully died. This year of dark recession has taught us a fair amount of teachings in all prospective. It made us realize nothing is permanent in this world and the value of money is nothing in front of value of life.
However, worshipping for our loved ones who lost their lives, we should see the pragmatic side of the situation. Because a due care and positivity is only solution to combat this rife virus. This has actually given a new life to all the individuals. A chance for development of harmonious relationships with each other, explore the ecstasy of ideas everyone holds within themselves and much more. Also, it helped in personal development and easy adaptation of the upcoming digitalization and advancements. The importance of our families, friends, close ones was finally revived. The environment has become greener, wildlife is rejuvenating, the pollution has dwindled and the list goes on.
Eventually, maybe we never overcome with cosmic or it becomes a part of our daily life we need to figure out solutions to protect ourselves. Self-prevention technique has to be adopted by every single soul on Earth. Currently, social distancing, contact tracing, sanitizing, cleanings etc are the only medicines to subdue from this virus and live a blissful life. World-wide doctors are still in the process of discovering the antivirus for corona virus, until then we need to act as self-doctors and protect ourselves from this pandemic. Although the exact amount of impact on the global economy is very difficult to allocate but definitely it will be pervasive.
