Abstract
The prevalence of COVID19 health crisis has contrived all steps of life so the priority of the government is to provide proper health care and protecting the lives with maintenance of economic balance. It came to vision that if the Covid-19 pandemic lasts for longer, it will shut down large parts of the world economy. The developing countries will suffer more as they are not yet fully self-sufficient and basically take Agriculture as a pillar of economy. INDIA is an agrarian country where agriculture is the backbone of Indian Economy. But the combat against pandemic has vastly affected this major economic sector. Disturbances in farming activity, national and international supply chain are the setback which will plunge the country’s food safety and human development.
