Some of them have availed loans for various purposes. Many of them have taken up EMI schemes. But due to the Coronavirus they have lost their livelihood. They are not able to pay the loans and pay interest. For some, the situation is so dire that it has led them to commit suicide. Depression has taken deep roots in their life also affecting their loved ones. The Governments are trying their best to provide some relief or aid. The current scenario is such that youth having a good profile and experiences have to work for the micro sector with meagre salaries or wages. The pandemic is a wakeup call to us that we have to be prepared for anything. The global fallout due to the virus has also given rise to a positive side.
