Every year Assam faces devastating floods that severely jolt many sectors, especially agriculture. The annual deluge wrecks havoc on large patches of farming lands, destroying crops and livestock and creating water logging, soil erosion, etc. This plummets the production and productivity of crops. However, with a few measures and precautions, the losses can be tamed to a certain extent.

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a severe threat to the economy of the country. To overcome these testing times, Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi has come up with Aatma Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan that promotes local economy. A special and comprehensive economic package of Rs 20 lakh crore that accounts for 10% of India’s GDP, has been announced to bring the economy back on track. Hon’ble Finance Minister Smt Nirmala Sitharaman further announced structural reforms across various sectors to pave the way for Aatma Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan.

Along with the initiatives undertaken by the government, we can also adopt certain precautionary measures to stay safe such as maintaining social distancing, frequently washing hands with soap and water, rubbing hands with hand sanitiser, etc. Such efforts can go a long way in controlling the spread of infection.
