The unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic entailed an urgent and proactive response from Indian policymakers. To support the formulation and implementation of effective and evidence-informed relief programmes, the World Bank in collaboration with IDinsight and the Development Data Lab sought to produce rigorous and responsive data for policymakers through rapid-response phone surveys across six states in India.
