A 2020 survey conducted across India to gauge the impact of the lockdown on workers' livelihoods, indicated that 28 percent of urban households had been unable to recover their food intake since having reduced it during the lockdown. This was higher than the share of rural households whose food consumption was still at lockdown levels in the post lockdown period in 2020. All in all, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was found to have hit India's urban households harder than rural ones.

Note: The survey was conducted in two rounds. The first round conducted between April 13, 2020 and May 23, 2020 involved 4,942 respondents being interviewed. In the second round of the survey 2,778 of these respondents were re-interviewed between October 7, 2020 and December 23, 2020. The data was captured for three different time points - pre-lockdown (February 2020), lockdown (April and May 2020), and post lockdown (September, October and November 2020).
