The compendium is a product of the series, The State of Villages- #RuralRealitiesunder the IMPRI Center for Habitat, Urban and Regional Studies (CHURS). It incorporates the composition of policymakers, practitioners, researchers, faculty, and University and college students across India and other countries.
The discourses highlight the community’s role in mitigating the pandemic’s impact and recoupment strategies, with the lack of awareness, reluctance towards and fear of testing and isolation, hesitancy towards vaccines, and a general feeling of mistrust for the government posing as major barriers.
