Across the world, people are dealing with the coronavirus lockdown and the economic impact it is having on their lives. In India alone, around 200 million people will be pushed to poverty by the end of this year, with the deepest socio-economic burden being experienced by those experiencing rural poverty.
How do we overcome this? How do we build an inclusive rural India?
