LiveMint published an op-ed by Dean Niraj Kumar (Development Management Institute, Patnaand) and Research Fellow Anjani Kumar on the impact COVID-19 is having on agriculture.

We need to make arrangements to ensure the continuance of agricultural operations, to prevent the danger of food and nutrition insecurity.
