ABSTRACT

This book explores the experiences of managing the COVID-19 pandemic in North East India across different areas of life and work.

It offers insights into the challenges and adaptability of communities and stakeholders by including the experiences of psychologists, students, administrators, the police and children among others. The book provides an account of the turmoil—psychological, social and economic – which people endured through stories of migration, loss of livelihood, discrimination and abuse while also highlighting the outpouring of collaboration and support which was found in communities across the North East.

This volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers of psychology, sociology, public health and administration, development studies, law and governance and South Asia studies.
