essay on lockdown of India
Answers
Answer---»»➷
★»» The coronavirus outbreak is affecting people across India in different ways. For parents of school-going kids across the country, the experience has been overwhelming and exhausting.
★ Around mid-March, when several Indian states sprung into action to contain the Covid-19 pandemic, their first step was to shut schools. Initially, the shutdown was meant to be till March 31 but it has now been extended till April 15
when the 21- day national lockdown concludes.
★ This means that kids, who typically spend between three and seven hours in a structured learning environment away from home, are now stuck indoors for weeks.
★ “Schools and colleges are shut. All out-of-home activities and social interactions have stopped, too. In such times, keeping kids engaged with creative activities that they find interesting is tough,” said Aarti Laxmanan, a corporate communications professional at a Noida-based packaging company. Laxmanan has been working from home while taking care of her daughters aged six and four years.
★ Quartz spoke with nearly a dozen Indian parents who are in the same boat as Laxmanan to understand how they are managing work-from-home with their kids always around them, sometimes demanding attention subtly and at other times pounding at their laptops to pull them away from work.

Answer:
On 24 March 2020, the Government of India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi ordered a nationwide lockdown for 21 days, limiting movement of the entire 1.3 billion population of India as a preventive measure against the COVID-19 pandemic in India.[1] It was ordered after a 14-hour voluntary public curfew on 22 March, followed by enforcement of a series of regulations in the country's COVID-19 affected regions.[2][3] The lockdown was placed when the number of confirmed positive coronavirus cases in India was approximately 500.[1] Observers stated that the lockdown had slowed the growth rate of the pandemic by 6 April to a rate of doubling every six days,[4] and by 18 April, to a rate of doubling every eight days.[5]
As the end of the first lockdown period approached, state governments and other advisory committees recommended extending the lockdown.[6] The governments of Odisha and Punjab extended the state lockdowns to 1 May.[7] Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal and Telangana followed suit.[8][9] On 14 April, Prime minister Narendra Modi extended the nationwide lockdown until 3 May, with a conditional relaxations after 20 April for the regions where the spread had been contained or was minimal.[10]
On 1 May, the Government of India extended the nationwide lockdown further by two weeks until 17 May. The Government divided all the districts into three zones based on the spread of the virus—green, red and orange—with relaxations applied accordingly.[11] On 17 May, the lockdown was further extended till 31 May by the National Disaster Management Authority.[12]
On 30 May, it was announced that lockdown restrictions were to be lifted from then onwards, while the ongoing lockdown would be further extended till 30 June for only the containment zones. Services would be resumed in a phased manner starting from 8 June. It was termed as "Unlock 1.0".[13] Modi later clarified that the lockdown phase in the country was over and that 'unlock' had already begun.[14]
The second phase of unlock, Unlock 2.0, was announced for the period of 1 to 31 July, with more ease in restrictions.[15] Unlock 3.0 was announced for August.[16]
