Introduction:
As we now appear to have successfully completed the first phase of mitigating the coron avirus
epidemic by managing a miracle of locking down a 1.3 billion strong nation, we are now confronted
with an even bigger challenge of trying to reignite an economy that was already suffering even
before the virus had hit. The Covid-19 epidemic is a crisis but one that is pregnant with opportunities
if we can handle it correctly. The biggest game-changer event for us is the way the during post-covid
world will look at our greatest economic. While this looks to be a good opportunity, the real key to
this is held by people who, at this point, are either stranded in the cities desperately wanting to go
home or are at home in the villages and cowering under the Armageddon story that we have sold to
the masses to keep them at home. Indian economic revival is possible only and only when the
migrant labour that runs our industries at every level, from the smallest to largest manufacturing
giants return to the cities and start working. For the same reason as part of the studio a Housing for
Economically weaker section seems to be a challenge and yet as important as designing housing for
HIG, MIG and LIG.
