Some 62 per cent of the rural households lost income during the Covid pandemic, while 42 per cent reported employment losses, according to a new study. The surveyed households include those who were dependent on micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and those who were not (non-MSMEs). The government stimulus did not reach them adequately, said the study.
