Chennai: As the country battles the second wave of Coronavirus and subsequent partial lockdowns, fear looms large upon the revival of the economy in the aftermath of the pandemic.
Catching on the sentiment of the nation, a webinar titled “After the Pandemic: How can India’s Economy Recover?” was hosted by GITAM under its newly launched initiative, ‘The Changemakers’.
The session threw light on the alarming situation and drew stimulus on future, in the presence of the guest speaker, Amitabh Kant CEO, NITI Aayog.
Speaking about the second wave of Covid, Kant said, “I think the best stimulus the government can give, is to ensure the use of masks and fast-track stage testing, tracing, and isolation. The solution to India’s constant economic growth does not lie only in providing stimulus because we have constraints such as inflation. Therefore, we should push for better discipline among the people of India and immunisation drives which is unprecedented in Indian history. The aim should be to limit severe diseases and deaths.”
