 CHALLENGES AND
O P P O RTU N I T I E S
C R E AT E D B Y C O V I D - 19
PAN DEMIC
Introduction
Someone has correctly said that "if health is gone everything is
gone".Health is wealth and nothing is supreme than where our
health stands at the present moment.A Healthy person whether
rich or poor lives more happy and peaceful life than any rich
person having a diseased body.

Nowadays, a new respiratory disease

called COVID-19 is spreading across the
world .This virus was first identifies in
Wuhan city of China.The World Health
Organisation(WHO) has declared the
coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a
pandemic on 30th January 2020.A
Pandemic is defined as "occurring over a wide geographic area
and affecting an unexpected high proportion of the population".

It has been two years since the COVID-19 pandemic

penetrated the deepest core of human civilization and
made us realise the power of mother nature.The
outbreak of the virus affected the whole world and
continues to adversely impact lives ,livelihoods and the
economy.
But as we know every problem is an opportunity to invent new
possibility , so now we will analyse those opportunities and
challenges faced by the people due to the outbreak of this
pandemic .

 R E P O RT
1. IMPACT OF COVID ON HEALTH SECTOR
Threat of Covid was all about on health and how an individual
make efforts to keep them away from affects of this deadly
virus. Ensuring a strong immunity was really Importance. The
Virus exposed health sectors of various countries. It taught a
lesson that even money can't save people in this tougher times.

★Positive Impact :
Medical systems in any country improved to sustainable levels
to face a pandemic situation. They understood the existing gaps
in these systems. Especially, many South and East Asian
countries focused on their indigenous medical systems and how
it should be integrated with the biomedical systems.

★Negative Impact:
Health and medical systems, especially biomedical systems,
have taken their maximum effort but the healthcare system
itself is affected due to various conditions in nature. Thus, there
are many deaths reported though the biomedical system has
made an enormous effort.
It exposed the health sector of countries. Many countries were
unavailable to fulfil needs of people for medical requirements.
Shortage of medicine and medical instruments were created.
Many people can't even get basic health care.
High rate of deaths due to various complications of this diseases
occurred amongst the patients, especially the elderly who were
affected by COVID-19. People couldn't even find beds in hospital
to save life for their dear ones.

2. IMPACT OF COVID ON ECONOMY

The Impact of Covid can be seen clearly in various sectors .
Economy is considered as backbone of country. It decides growth
of country. COVID impacted economy of all countries where the
deadly virus kept its foot but also there are positive aspects to it.

★POSITIVE IMPACTS:
Domestic production increased due to family or cottage level
agricultural practices including other small-scale handicraft
productions in society due to unemployment in this tough
COVID times. This may reduce the market demand to some extent
and make country self independent in production.
The potentials would be in domestic production and services to
maintain local traditional lifestyles rather than adapting to
modernity.
People may repose their trust in many local-level trades and
business firms rather than depending on the supermarket
systems. These trends strengthen the supply chain network at
national and regional levels. Perhaps, there may be some new
trading opportunities too amongst regional countries.
It contributed in boosting down-falling economy.

★NEGATIVE IMPACTS:
Downward trends of family economic conditions and several
lower hierarchy social classes facing unbearable economic
hardships due to lack of daily or monthly earnings. Though there
are market accessibility and supply chain network even under
the limitation of social mobility, they do not possess the
purchasing power.
Country as a whole suffered due to this pandemic. Millions of
people lost their job.This created downfall in economy.
Several countries had to take huge loans to meet economic needs.
It created problems in almost all economic fronts.

3. IMPACT OF COVID ON EDUCATIONAL SECTOR

The impact of pandemic COVID-19 is observed in every sector around the
world.The education sectors of India as well as world are badly affected
by this.

★POSITIVE IMPACT :
COVID-19 has accelerated adoption of digital technologies to deliver
education.The pandemic situation induced people to learn and use
digital technology and resulted in increasing the
digital literacy.
Learning materials are shared among the
students easily and the queries are resolved
through E-mails , SMS, phone calls and video
calls.Students are able to manage their time more
efficiently in online education during pandemics.
Teachers have also adopted new methods of teachings like
PPTs,videos,video conferencing which are considered as one of the best
and fast learning medium of teaching.
Students preparing for competitive exams are being provided with an
opportunity to avail online crash courses on 50% discount and they also
watch these classes again and again.

★NEGATIVE IMPACT :
Education sector has suffered a lot due to the
pandemic.Classes have been suspended and exams of
different level postponed.Admission process got
delayed.Most of the recruitment got postponed due to the
COVID-19.
Unemployment rate is expected to be increased .Online
learning has also been a problem to poor children who do not have any
internet facilities.
Online learning has also created a large gap among the students and
teachers . As the schools were closed there is no mid-day meal programme
which seriously impacted 115 million children who faced
malnourishment due to school closure.
Laboratory based practical exposure in fields of engineering and
medical has also been abandoned.

4. IMPACT OF COVID 19 ON TOURISM SECTOR

The current COVID-19 pandemic is leading
to significant changes in terms of people's
economic development which will inevitably
change the tourism industry and tourism
industry and tourism activity
worldwide.Immediate control measures ,such
as necessary restrictions on travel,avoiding
physical contact,social distancing have
vanished interests in travelling away from home and seeking to
receive tourism services.
COVID-19 has caused immediate impacts across
the whole spectrum of economic and social
activity.the duration and intensity of arising
malfunction in tourism are not yet
known,thus it is too early to make any
assessments of financial losses that will be
recorded of financial losses that will be recorded on annual basis.
However,an initial approach is necessary in order to assess range
of today's impacts,aiming at critical appraisal of current
situation. It will mainly help in making appropriate pandemic
management plan in tourism industry.

 5. IMPACT OF COVID ON ENVIRONMENT

"Silver lining of a deadly
pandemic"- this sounds like1 an
oxymoron , but it's true when it
comes to COVID-19.

During the lockdown, images of

Himalayas was visible from
Punjab and the clearer waters in
the canals of Venice went viral on social media.videos of
animals like deer,mountain goats ,peacock and even wild cats
wandering through the deserted streets in urban areas were also
seen.

oil refineries and factories

that spew venomous smoke
into the atmosphere have been
shut down.
since travelling was paused
vehicle pollution was reduced
at a great extent.

Even though the positive

effect of the lockdown,it is
still eye opening for us to see how we have exploited nature and
how mother nature tries to heal herself when humans leave alone
for some time.

 SURVEY
SUMMARY
From the detailed survey that we have conducted among
the people from different walks of life , we came to know
that they have both positive and negative opinions on the
topic ie. the challenges and opportunities created by the
covid pandemic.
Many of them think that the covid pandemic has
destroyed their health and living style. According to
many students, the online classes that came into the
education system has been destroying their motivation
to study. For the poorer class ,it has caused serious
problems like job lost,less salary etc because of which they
have to leave their working places and return to their
homes in order to survive in the pandemic.
But in the survey, we also find out that there are several
advantages or opportunities brought by the covid. The
covid lockdown helped the world in accelerating its
online systems and technologies in months . Further it
also taught us how to tackle these types of
pandemics ,which will help us in the future.
Thus, we can say that the society considers the pandemic
as both a challenge and an opportunity.

 CONCLUSION
COVID-19 has come as a shock to societies, health systems,
economies, and governments worldwide. It influenced the
world by not only killing millions of people but also by
developing a sense of fear in the minds of others,all across
the globe.
The COVID-19 crisis has affected societies and economies
around the globe and will permanently reshape our world as
it continues to unfold. While the fallout from the crisis is
both amplifying familiar risks and creating new ones,
change at this scale also creates new openings for managing
systemic challenges, and ways to build back better.For
example one of the advantages of this pandemic was that it
accelerated a sweeping digital transformation, as consumers
and businesses were forced to do, in months what would
normally have taken years.
Nonetheless, just as a crisis carries risks, it is also
accompanied by opportunities. When the storm passes and
the dust settles, whether the new world will emerge stronger
-and the post-COVID-19 normal more resilient and
sustainable-will hinge on our ability to effectively mitigate
the risks while harnessing the opportunities that these
circumstances may produce.

 GROUP
REFLECTION
For the project we interviewed some of our
neighbours and asked about the problems they
are facing now and how was the scenario before
it etc.
All of them shared their opinions with us and
we recorded that in our CDs.
This project gave us a better understanding of
the pandemic,its challenges,opportunities and
its impact on various sectors.
Making this project made us realise that it’s our
choice to take the pandemic as a challenge or an
opportunity.
