Abstract
The Coronavirus outbreak has heralded a mental health
crisis across the globe. The developmental needs of
children and adolescents intensify the challenges faced
by them in understanding and coping with the pandemic,
making them one of the vulnerable population segments
at greater risk of adverse mental health outcomes.
Moreover, widespread school closure and home
confinement measures have rendered certain factors
crucial for healthy childhood development inaccessible.
While the world has been recognising the enhanced
psychosocial vulnerability of children during this global
health crisis, research capturing children’s experience of
the same in India is critically limited.
