COVID-19 interactive data dashboard

IDinsight developed an interactive data dashboard to visualize and analyze how rural Indian households were affected by COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its associated containment policies have created widespread economic distress. The government of India announced a nation-wide lockdown on 24th March, 2020 which was then rolled back in phases by 30th June, 2020. The fallout of the lockdown is expected to have persistent and pervasive impacts on the rural economy that many believe will outweigh the direct effects of the pandemic itself.

Between May and September, IDinsight in collaboration with the Development Data Lab (DDL) conducted three rounds of a rapid phone-based sample survey with approximately 5,000 households across six Indian states to understand the impact of the COVID-19 crises on rural labour markets, consumption, agriculture, migration, and people’s access to relief measures and healthcare.

This platform can be used to illustrate the depth of the impact COVID-19 has had (and continues to have) in rural India, and to enable you to explore the various dimensions and intersections through which rural communities face the challenges of the pandemic.
