Ramaswami: This is the 26th report in a series that provides glimpses into the impact of COVID-19-related policies on life in rural India. The series, commissioned by the Society for Social and Economic Research, comprises reports by various scholars who have been conducting village studies in different parts of India. The reports have been prepared on the basis of telephonic interviews with key informants in their study villages. This report presents the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the tribal village of Hehal located in Ranchi district of Jharkhand, where a sharp fall in selling prices and the lack of cash for the upcoming paddy cultivation has added to the distress of tribal farmers. Further, the low yield of the last season’s paddy harvest has led to most households running out of food grains.
