Dvara Research: Social Protection Initiative
In this research brief, we explore the impact of COVID-19 on the daily life of low-income households from surveys done across India. The brief presents the evidence from a panel survey conducted in three rounds by Dvara Research. Round 1 of the survey was held from April 23 to May 7, round 2 from May 15 to May 27, and round 3 from June 19 to July 6.
