An estimated 24.5 million people have become ‘new poor’ in the country because of the pandemic. This was the finding of a ‘ rapid response research’ carried out jointly by the Power and Participation Research Centre (PPRC) and the BRAC Institute of Governance and Development (BGID) last month. The survey covered a small number of households—only 6,000.
