8TH NITTE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
on
THE POST PANDEMIC RESURGENCE: THE CHALLENGES AND CONCERNS


The World Health Organisation (WHO) on January 30, 2020 declared novel corona virus (CV) outbreak as a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC), WHO's highest level of alarm. The virus, which originated in China in 2019 and spread across the globe had literally impacted all walks of life. Initially no one understood the severity of the problem. As the pandemic started spreading to Italy, USA, European countries, the nations started realising the ramifications of the pandemic. Unlike the earlier pandemic which had spread and mostly confined to certain geographies, this pandemic had spread across the globe and had debilitating effect on nations, economies, people, political establishments, companies, banking institutions, civil societies etc. It had engulfed the whole globe without sparing even the remote corners of the world. Nations and institutions have responded to the crisis in a variety of ways. The global pandemic threw open many challenges and opportunities for the government, business and non-governmental institutions around the world. The economies of the world came under tremendous pressure due to disruptions in the normal business activities. The pandemic caused both functional and structural impact not only on the economy but also on various sectors such as business, healthcare, tourism & hospitality sector, education and also on the voluntary sectors. These new challenges called for new strategies and innovative approach to manage socio economic complexities. New developments such as work from home practices, moonlighting, virtual meetings, online learnings, mass immunization drives, growth in adoption of technology etc have necessitated innovative approach to business and governance. All the three sectors of the economy such government, business and voluntary sectors adopted new techniques and methods to deal with the post pandemic situations. Different countries of the world have a number of experiences to share. This conference aims to discuss and document the experiences, coping strategies, government and the institutional responses to the global pandemic.
