This article is about how the COVID 19 pandemic affected the Indian economy and created havoc for the individuals who either lost their employment or their salaries were cut. This way the Pandemic not only created human loss but also snatched their livelihood. The supply chain of essential items was also disrupted due to the lockdown and curfew implemented at that time. This was the time when SHGs emerged as an opportunity and got involved in the production of PPE kits, face shields, masks, and affordable hand sanitizers, creating awareness about COVID 19 and helping deliver food and other essentials.
