Lockdown is an emergency protocol. This ban is imposed by the government to prevent  the movement of people in an emergency no person can move out of the city where the lockdown is done he imprison himself in the house. People can get out of the house only for urgent work some people are nervous because there is not much information about the lockdown they are particularly afraid of comparing it to curfew but you don’t need to panic. lockdown mean lockout is emergency mechanism implemented during a disaster people of the area where he lockdown has been done are not allowed to move out of the house they are allowed to move out of the house only to buy essential thing like medicine and money from the bank . lockdown mean that you do not leave the street for unnecessary work. Lockdown conditions persist in many countries of the world to defeat Corona, which has become a worldwide pandemic. The Prime Minister of the country, Narendra Modi, had announced a lockdown across the country for 21 days on 25 March, which was to end on 15 April but there was no decrease in the number of corona patients.On April 14, Prime Minister Modi announced a second lockdown to get an over on Corona. This lockdown will last till May 3 i.e. the next 19 days and will have to remain in lockdown. After the announcement of the central government, the railways also stopped all services on May 3. In addition, domestic and international flights have been canceled by May 3.The main purpose of the lockdown is to keep people locked inside the houses so that the corona chain can be broken. When the lockdown occurred in the country, the total corona cases were 550, but the corona cases only increased after the lockdown. However, crores of people had to bear the brunt of the lockdown. Let's see what the statistics say about lockdown ...The Ministry of Health holds press conferences daily to update the corona. On April 9, a statement issued by the Ministry of Health said that if the lockdown was not imposed in the country, on April 15, more than eight lakh cases would have been seen. There are currently more than ten thousand infected patients in the country due to lockdown and nationwide containment.However, the Ministry of Health did not clarify which model was used to bring these figures to the fore. The ICMR has made a model public but not about the lockdown.It can be seen in this graph that the number of patients with Corona was not much faster in February. After March 4, the number of patients increased, which has been increasing till now. It takes 14 days for the virus to appear. However, many states had imposed lockdown before the Center was announced. Karnataka announced the lockdown on 13 March and Maharashtra on 20 March.

Impact of lockdown on industry 

The coronavirus outbreak first occurred in Wuhan, China on December 31, 2019. Before reading in detail about the impact on the economy, let's first know about coronaviruses.Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause disease. This can cause serious illnesses ranging from the common cold to Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS-CoV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV). Novel is a new type of coronavirus that was not yet found in humans.We cannot ignore the fact that the outbreak of COVID-19 in China and other countries of the world is expected to have a significant impact on the economy, including economic skepticism, trade, supply chain symptoms welfare, commodities and logistics globally.In the beginning, India's dependence on China is huge. Among the top 20 products ((in double digits of HS code) that India starts with the world, China holds a significant share in most of them.About 45% of India's total electronic imports depend on China. About one-third of the equipment and about two-fifths of organic chemicals that India buys from the world come from China? China accounts for over 25% of India's deal for automotive parts and producers. About 65 to 70% of active pharmaceutical ingredients and about 90% of mobile phones arrive in India from China.Therefore, we can say that due to the outbreak of coronavirus in China, import dependence on China is having a significant impact on Indian industry. But now the situation in China is improving, then maybe there will be some changes in the coming time.

Work from home : challenges and prospects 

At present, it is becoming difficult for people in homes across the country to cut time within the boundary wall. Especially for people living alone and the elderly, the social challenge of avoiding mental depression is the most serious. The challenge of keeping children busy is falling on mothers. From eating and drinking to playing with children, the mothers and some fathers also have to fulfill their requirements to make them happy and prevent them from going out.Children are distraught due to the closure in the house, which is not to be missed by schoolmates, they are also deprived of playing with their neighbors. They have either the time to spend time on TV-internet or are the games to be played between brothers and sisters inside the house. According to video game vendors, the demand for their games has increased by 25 to 30 percent in the initial week of lockdown. However, during such times Doordarshan has taken a good initiative to provide healthy entertainment to the people sitting at home by re-airing serials like Ramayana and Mahabharata.This time is even more difficult for working spouses, because while they have to complete their professional work daily within the boundary of the house within the stipulated time, the challenge is to keep the environment peaceful by keeping the children busy. The challenge of doing your professional work from inside the house has also brought all the stresses of the office within the boundary of the house. Working mothers have to fulfill the needs of the family by doing their professional work while staying at home. They have to fulfill this dual responsibility without any helpers this whole month. This is increasing physical and mental pressure on them.Since children do not go to school, it is also a challenge to continue their studies at home. Keeping them indoors throughout the day will be possible only when they are kept busy with some useful and recreational activity. Therefore, this is the most appropriate time to train them to help in household work. All the members of the house are staying indoors for the next ten days at least for ten days, so reconciliation is necessary. Equally important is the care of the elderly, their diet and the prevention of corona contagion and exercise needs.If there is a patient suffering from corona contagion or any member of the house suffering from its symptoms has to keep 14 days quarantine i.e. the most isolated in the house, then the social challenge is even more formidable. In untouchable families, all the adults of the household are taking utmost care themselves, children and the elderly are also taking special care. The economic challenge is also increasing in front of such families, because the government has fixed Rs 4,500 as the primary investigation of Corona. A new problem has arisen in front of corona workers. Instead of helping Corona's vulnerable or apprehensive people and their health workers, they are attacking them in many ways. Now the challenge before the government is to go in public and investigate them in large numbers. Due to the treatment facilities available in the country, since the estimated number of corona victims was not possible to treat, temporary health facilities are being prepared. It is necessary to take a lesson from the Italian government's criminal negligence in its investigation. It remains to be seen whether the Government of India will wait for the citizens to rush to the hospital after the corona contagious house-to-house explosion, or by extensively examining them to save their lives by marking the death-bearers of others unaware of their contagion. 

These days more than one billion and 300 million population of India are locked in their homes to avoid the infection of corona virus. Its social effects are visible on a large scale. While the most affected are the poor sections, the burden has also increased on the shoulders of the women running and working at home. Obviously, when society is completely closed in homes, then the challenges for everyone also increase, but we all have to meet this challenge together.

Pollution and lockdown 

Due to the lockout of half of the world's population, nature is having such an impact which may have been conceived only. There are reports of air pollution, water pollution and noise pollution coming down from different parts of the world. The animals are seen walking in the open. If the sky is clearly visible, the peaks of the mountains are seen from far away.There are reports of sudden clearing of rivers whose efforts have been going on for decades to remove pollution from several states in India. Similar reports are coming about the Yamuna River, the lifeline of Delhi. Recently, many pictures came on social media, which claimed that the water of Yamuna used to be black and foam filled in Delhi, the same Yamuna is flowing clean water today.Environmentalist Subhash Dutta says that it is believed that 70 percent of Yamuna's pollution is contributed by domestic waste falling in it and 30 percent is contributed by factories. According to the law, factories cannot allow them to go into the river without purifying their effluents. Factories are closed due to the lockout, and meanwhile, the cleanliness of the river meant that while the factories were running, their effluents were going into the river without being purified. Subhash Dutta also says that this also means that government agencies also do not do surveillance work properly.

Manoj Mishra, the campaigner of the Yamuna Jaya Abhiyan, says that the river being clean now means that we had not yet properly understood the source of its pollution. He says that till date the entire focus was on treating waste plants, but the real problem is the discharge from factories.

Impact on lockdown of economy 

The lockdown in India has been extended until May 3. The economy is hurt during a 21-day lockdown to prevent the corona virus epidemic from spreading in the country. Analysts and industry boards have predicted that the 21-day lockdown could impact India's staggering economy by Rs7-8 lakh crore.

Most of the factories and businesses remained closed in the lockdown. Flights from the Indian Railways are suspended. Also, the movement of vehicles and people has also been banned.The country's economic activities stalled

The lockdown of 21 days from March 25 has halted 70 percent of economic activity, investment, exports and consumption of products other than essential commodities. Only agriculture, mining, utility services, some financial and IT services and public services have been allowed to work.
