The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic stopped the wheel of industrial production due to life risk and threatened human engagement – bringing the GDP growth down to 5.24% in the fiscal year 2019-20. Hence, an effective vaccination programme is a crucial need for revival of the economy, the DCCI president remarked.
