  • Vulnerability of Major Indian States Due to COVID-19 Spread and Lockdown
    IDSK Special Series on COVID-19 2 Vulnerability of Major Indian States Due to COVID-19 Spread and Lockdown Subrata Mukherjee Priyanka Dasgupta Monalisha Chakraborty Gopal Biswas Soumi Mukherjee June 2020 INSTITUTE OF DEVELOPMENT STUDIES KOLKATA DD 27/D, Sector I, Salt Lake, Kolkata 700 064 Phone : +91 33 2321-3120/21 Fax : +91 33 2321-3119 E-mail : [email protected], Website: www.idsk.edu.in Vulnerability of Major Indian States Due to COVID 19-Spread and Lockdown Subrata Mukherjee1 Priyanka Dasgupta2 Monalisha Chakraborty3 Gopal Biswas4 Soumi Mukherjee5 Abstract Both the spread of COVID-19 and lockdown announced by the governments to contain the spread have put an immense challenge to India’s economy, society and health care system. However, the situation is not uniform across the states of India as they vary enormously from one another in terms of risk of the disease spread, size of the population vulnerable to COVID-19, capacity to deal with medical emergency, size of the population economically vulnerable to lockdown and financial capacity of the state governments to take care of the vulnerable population in the absence of adequate assistance from the central government. This study, first attempts to assess the vulnerability of the population due to the possible disease spread; and then tries to assess four different dimensions of vulnerability caused by nation-wide lockdown. The four dimensions that have been considered are (i) poverty, (ii) possible disruption of access to health care for chronic ailments (iii) possible disruption in students’ access to school education and mid-day meals; and (iv) ills caused by alcoholism and domestic violence.

About Us The Express Group was the unifying voice behind India’s struggle for independence. Today, it is the leading light in the battle against corruption as well as empowering the people of India. The Indian Express began its journey in 1932. Since then, the Group has grown from strength to strength. From a single edition to 35 national editions, 21 publication centers and 7 language dailies that reach over 19 million people across the country.... For the millions of readers, the name "Indian Express" evokes a feeling of faith and trust in the belief that ‘their Express’ will provide the true picture of India and the world at large. Published from 21 centers across the country, the newspaper has been identified with credible and fiercely independent journalism in India. One of the most influential newspapers of the Indian subcontinent, The Indian Express has been the watchdog for the Indian people, fiercely treading the terrains of investigative and pro-active journalism. Some of the most shocking stories in the history of Indian journalism are credited to this newspaper. For instance, it showed how slavery existed in 20th century India when an Express reporter actually bought a woman from the market and wrote the famous story of Kamla. When the Press was muzzled and gagged and democracy kept in prison in 1975 during the Emergency, The Express was one of the few papers to stand up and speak out against the anti-democracy..

ICRA has a long-term rating outstanding of [ICRA]A- (Pronounced ICRA A minus) on the Rs 25.00 crore term loans, Rs 35.00 crore cash credit limits and RS 60.00 crore (reduced from Rs 70.00 crore) unallocated limits of the company. The outlook on the long term rating is ‘Stable’. The ratings continue to reflect TIEPL’s healthy financial flexibility marked by a robust capital structure and improvement in coverage indicators in line with improvement in profitability metrics over the last fiscal and further supported by adequate cash balances (Rs 61.2 crore as on March 31, 2015) and undrawn lines of credit. Reducing debt levels coupled with further improvement in profitability metrics expected on account of favourable newsprint prices as well as improving cost efficiencies and absence of any significant debt funded capex plans is expected to support the cash flows and financial profile of the company over the near term. The ratings continue to factor in the strong brand recall of flagship publication, The Indian Express, and leadership position of Marathi publication, Loksatta, which provides opportunities for offering bundled products across editions and geographies and consistent growth in circulation revenues of the company supported by higher penetration in existing markets, increase in cover price and launch of new editions to mark entry into new markets.
