@Parth
please review
Good intro.
Refrain from monotony, try to give a heading after the intro.
Avoid writing in paragraphs, write in points.
Impact is discussed well.
In the measures, along with other points , you can write that most of the measures taken by the government, such as targeted cash transfers and tax benefits, exclude the vast army of informal economy workers. In such a case, only a universal self-targeting welfare scheme is the effective measure. The idea of Universal Basic Income and a national-level Employment Guarantee Scheme on the lines of the already successful MGNREGA, need to be pushed by the government in order to respond effectively to the pandemic costs bearing upon the poor and the marginalised.
Overall a good attempt.
