COVID-19 LOCKDOWN CHALLENGES


Introduction
The outbreak corona no doubts it is a type of disaster and also, we can name it differently.

The coronavirus has disturbed the entire world either they are of developed countries like America, Russia, etc. or developing countries like China, Iran, etc. 
We know that “Prevention is better than cure” and in the case of corona till now we haven’t any vaccine to recover any corona patient. But what we have! yes, the only prevention and prevention in the form of LOCKDOWN.



But why are we using the Lockdown option?
According to the researcher and scientists, the coronavirus spreads from one person to another and the fact is that a single person may affect 100 or 1000 peoples. So, the only option we have to control out this outbreak via Social Distancing and the social distancing will come when we will follow the Lockdown. So, our country and the entire world using the lockdown technique as a weapon against corona.

No doubt the lockdown is the best option to control the coronavirus but, in this condition, we are facing many challenges in different fields like:


IMAGE 2: Showing the major challenges facing fields due to COVID-19 & LOCKDOWN


Impact of lockdown on Industries and Business
Due to the lockdown, the growth rate in the field of Industries and Business is continuously decreasing.

Because due to the lockdown every people focus only on the most essential need like food and apart from the food no one gives priority to other things like no one going to the shopping mall on the priority basis, no one buying on the huge amount of cell phones, vehicle, furniture, electronics appliances, clothes, etc. We haven’t gone to anywhere just if we analyse the entire market effect on the 2 days of decreasing sell level on top companies on the date of 19th March and 25th march is shown in the below table:

Must watch the report analysis of CNN News on the impact of lockdown on Industries and Business by clicking below link:

Conclusion: 
As the conclusion due to the corona outbreak, there is a rapidly decreasing growth rate on the Industries and Business.

Education and E-Learning
By the order of the government of India all the schools, colleges & Universities are totally closed.
Because in these sectors the chances of spreading coronavirus are maximum because in these fields there is highly lack of Social Distancing.
But according to the many Universities like Kurukshetra Universities ordered to all the faculties of concerned branches to provide education via the E-Learning platform.
I am simply giving you the example of my Geeta Engineering College that in my college the faculty members are providing us the online lectures via video Conferencing for this I am including a screenshot of Video Conferencing.

Conclusion

If we talk about the entire education systems of India then all the Vocational education provider colleges and Universities are providing assignments, notes, study material via online mode in this lockdown.

Apart from this many students take this lockdown as an opportunity to gain maximum knowledge in their concerned fields. Due to this, online education providers like Udemy, Udacity, Eduonix, SimpliLearn, Microsoft Learn & Alison Learning, etc. had achieved a high growth rate in their business. Because the mindset of maximum students to learn new skills and techniques in this lockdown period. No doubt the online platform can’t give us classes like environment but in this outbreak maximum students accept the learning via online mode. By this, there is high traffic on the websites of online education providers.
Work from home challenge & Prospects
Due to the Lockdown, each organization has only one option to continue with the work from home option. But there is a big difference between the home office and the maintained traditional office. In the work from home environment, there are several issues and challenges to each organization like:

·       Loneliness to staff and employee because no person like employee is present with him.
Work distraction because the employee is working from the home and they




·       have a lot of distraction due to this. As a short analysis, many employees are not kept focusing on their job while doing work from home.

·     In the work from home scenario, many workers and employees have a mindset like they are their own office manager. Because in this lockdown situation there is the unavailability of the higher authority who will time to time monitoring the job of their employee.

Conclusion
As a conclusion in the lockdown time no doubt to run the organization work from home is only one option but in this mode of working there is a big lack in the actual output in the comparison of work an office.

Pollution and Lockdown:
In the topic of pollution, the result of lockdown is very beneficial because in this lockdown period there is highly unavailability of vehicles on the roads and we know that vehicles are the major reasons for the pollution. As a matter of fact, if people will be in the lockdown then no availability of vehicles on the road then it will result in the low pollution record.

You can get a full report analysis on the Impact of lockdown on the Pollution in India and worldwide via this YouTube link:
(YouTube Video Link)
And it is good news that the pollution rate is decreasing day by day in the duration of the lockdown. The main idea behind this revolutionary change is that in this lockdown period all the manufacturing industries are currently stopped, due to this the pollution rate in ppm (parts per mole) of air is continuous decreases, as well as the entire pollution rate of rivers like the Yamuna & Ganga, is also decreased. You can better understand this amazing result by the below picture.




IMAGE 8: Image showing the pollution condition before and after COVID-19 & LOCKDOWN

Conclusion
According to the conclusion the pollution rate and the pollution graph has highly decrement because in this lockdown all the industries and manufacturing organizations are stopped and by this the pollution like dust smoke and wastes of these organizations are currently unavailable from our surrounding and this result into the fact that the lockdown is highly beneficial for controlling the pollution.

Impact of lockdown on the economy
The main tension due to the COVID-19 and Lockdown is the decreasing mode of the Indian Economy. After the lockdown, the entire economy falls day by day and we have to wait for the growth of the economy till the lockdown.
According to the Bajaj Finance report about the Indian economy during lockdown is as:
·       Lockdown and COVID-19 have brought the Indian Economic condition to a grinding halt.
·       As a result of lockdown, there will be a 250-billion-dollar loss to the Indian economy due to a one-month lockdown.
·       There will be some demand revival by July and full recovery by September.
The major impact of the lockdown result on rural unemployment. You can see the current condition of unemployment after the lockdown by the below picture.

  IMAGE9: Image showing the unemployment rate after COVID-19 & LOCKDOWN



You can better understand by clicking YouTube link which is the interview of Former Governor of Reserve Bank of India Raghuram Rajan to India Today
(YouTube Video Link)
Conclusion:
In conclusion, if we talk about the entire economic condition of India due to the lockdown is totally dull. Because the per capita income is reduced and the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of entire India is also reduced due to the COVID-19.

The negativity of the COVID-19 & Lockdown
There are many negative aspects of this corona outbreak like due to this disaster the economic condition is totally destroyed. The tourism sector is null in the field of economy. There is no output of the Indian Railway to the Indian Economy during the lockdown because the Indian rail is totally stopped to control the Social Distancing. All the Universities, Colleges and schools are closed by this there is a big lack in the education system. On the date of April 13th   approx. 330 peoples died due to this outbreak and approx. 10,900 people are suffering from this corona pandemic.
The subjectivity of the COVID-19 & Lockdown
Yes, each and every factor have positive and negative issues. Some positive results like the decreasing rate in pollution, lower the value of ppm in the air, the condition of purity of rivers water came into the face.
Apart from this in this Lockdown period and to maintain Social distancing all the people are spending their precious time with their families and relatives. In this duration, each family members have a golden chance to understand the emotions and feelings of the other members towards them and vice-versa.

Conclusion
The overall conclusion about this lockdown is that this is the only option to defeat the corona outbreak. But due to maintaining the Social distancing, it results in the low GDP and unemployment in entire India. If we talk about the work from home scenario yes in this condition, we have only one way to continue any organization but for the work from home we are using several online tools like zoom, WebEx, zoolite, etc. these all tools are of china and other foreign countries and a huge amount of users throughout the world are using these tools for the video conferencing and in the webinars, etc. definitely by these tools the foreign countries are gaining profits.
In this crucial time, we have to salute our Doctors, Nurses, Maid, Police and all the peoples who are helping the entire world by serving and helping the needy one via their maximum effort.
Because this is the real humanity and humanity is greater than any religion.

So, in the last line, I want to say that definitely human beings are responsible for the corona pandemic and we are facing the situation of lockdown. But this outbreak is also a challenge for the human being now the time has come to accept this challenge and follow the social distancing and lockdown to defeat the coronavirus.
Because together we can defeat this pandemic.
Stay safe & Stay home till the Lockdown.
