Reverse migration was the trending issue in several news articles and channels during the pandemic. The authors attempt to investigate migrants’ sensitivity during COVID-19. Reverse migrants are sensitive to crucial aspects that bother them during their reverse migration such as mental stress, social issues, transportation issues, job loss, and income loss. The Government of India launched several initiatives to help the reverse migrants, but it is not reaching the migrant people adequately.

Governments and corporations with the obstinacy to operate on a global scale can engage in international trade. Even today's global economy relies on the interdependence between nations. The South Asian region's connectivity can only be improved by enhancing intra-regional commerce. The present study is based on the global trade and economic crisis from the perspective of SAARC nations. In the current study, an effort has been made to examine the export, import, economic growth, and links between global trades for SAARC nations from 1990 to 2021. The analysis's findings suggest that the GDP, imports, and exports are growing in a cyclical pattern. The Granger causality result suggests that there are unidirectional and bidirectional causal relationships between world trade and country GDP development as well as within nations in the case of GDP growth. Therefore, the authors draw the conclusion that the key cause of the economic crisis in SAARC nations is global trade.

Other challenges beset both students and faculty in this mode of education. On the one extreme, private institution have seamlessly sustained online classes, whilst government universities have gone off the rails.
