Abstract: To access the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic, a survey was conducted in a school of an underprivileged region in North-east Delhi. It was analysed that Covid had a very profound impact on the Income of low communities of North-East Delhi. Almost 25% of people lost their jobs (had 100% impact on their income) either due to lack of job security (for those who do Service) or due to shutting down of their small scale business (for those who are self- employed). 85% of the families are managing household expenses by their savings, 6% of the families have taken loan whereas of the 9% families are earning normally as before (had no impact on their income). During the data collection, a few interviewees indicated that one of the reasons they aren't interested in being vaccinated is due to a misconception that they may experience vaccination adverse effects (they were scared/hesitant to get vaccinated). It is necessary to raise awareness in order to dispel this notion among them.
