COVID 19 pandemic has created havoc on the minds of people all over the world. The Indian government, as well as governments from other countries of the world, worked following WHO guidelines to save the population. In some situations, it could achieve success while in others it became like a mess. Many published articles and newspapers throughout the world have revealed the result in unimaginable alarming situations such as unemployment, economic deterioration, marital problems, and family breakup in society due to extraordinary interference in the natural processes; i.e., a lab experiment in China as reported in media reports. Individuals and category wise groups, encountered challenging difficulties during the lockdown period. Many other challenges such as social distancing, shutting down of educational establishments, cancelling of events and social gatherings, hand-hygiene, body temperature scan, the use of personal protective equipment is also a record. Imposed restrictions, such as face masks, hand sanitizers, and internet facilities added additional expenses on the individual and family. The study highlights some of the challenges that have arisen as a result of the pandemic. This study is based on primary data collected through Google forms questionnaire in NCR, Delhi. The change in lifestyle associated with the pandemic influenced the people economically, socially, emotionally and spirituality. The majority of the respondents lacked most of the basic resources and even those who had a suitable home environment sometimes failed to fulfil the basic facilities. Some of the respondents had no resources to work at home, many people faced psychological stress, depression, regardless of family bonding experienced during stay at home.
