Abstract
Introduction: The term pandemic is considered to be the most dangerous thing that the world witnessed, however Covid-19 is considered to be the scariest thing till date. It damaged many things in the Nation, people lost life, their closed ones, earning sources and mental peace. The effect of Covid -19 is not over yet, however the seriousness of the virus is under control with proper vaccination and guidelines followed in India.
Objective: The objective of this research was to understand the dynamics of Covid -19, discussing the measures taken by the Government and challenges faced during its implementation and lockdown scenarios implemented in the nation in different phases. The paper also discusses the proactive role of the Indian Government and the risk management journey of the nation as a whole.
Methodology: The paper used secondary for studying the dynamics. The information was taken from authentic sources, online database; government reports, print media articles and different journals and research papers. The researcher used exploratory research design and secondary research approach to meet the research objectives.
Results: The article reports there was positive as well as negative effects of the lockdown in India.
