It is to be noted here that the state government headed by the Chief Minister has taken several welfare measures in areas of food security, healthcare and sector-specific activities. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the state and its economy to a large extent. The demand and supply chain have been crippled and the informal sector and the MSMEs have taken a major blow. Gujarat has a large migrant workforce. However, the pandemic has compelled them to return to their respective home states. The disruption caused by COVID-19 has affected an industrially developed state like Gujarat, which has in turn affected the nation too.
