Situation of Middle class people due to COVID19 - can they survive or abolished ?

Rich people haven't any tension, poor people are getting both govt. and NGO's support and attention. But what about middle class? How long middle class can survive with their small savings during this lockdown situation and also post lockdown situation because there is a big possibility that many people will lost their job. Now these are the most common questions are coming in the mind of middle class people especially lower middle class people. The problem of middle class people is that nobody helps them in need, they also feels shy to seek help, even nobody speaks for them. As a result their situation is getting worse day by day. Previous small savings saves them today, but if today they doesn't earn and doesn't get any support how can they survive in near future.

Lower middle class people are those whose average monthly income is 10k-20k. May be they are doing some small jobs or they have any small shops or other profession. For example, think about the situation of a private tutor whose monthly income depends on fees paid by students. Now in this lockdown situation does he get his monthly fees from students because most of the students belong from middle class family and their parents business or profession has been stopped during lockdown.

We understand that both the Central and State Government of India are trying to do their best to fight against COVID-19 pandemic situation. Government and several NGOs are giving essential food items to the poor for free. But what about lower middle class whose condition are close to poor in this current situation.

As per announcement of our Finance Minister Rs. 500 had been already credited to each Woman Jan Dhan Account. Though it is not clear that why woman only? Are all male jan dhan account holders rich? Even some woman have multiple jan dhan accounts under different banks and branches, the shocking part is all jan dhan account of that woman has been credited Rs. 500.

We know that pre corona virus pandemic phase and post corona virus pandemic will not be same. Massive change will be come in world economy. How can lower middle class people live their life without any support?

Also I don't know how Govt. and NGO's are identifying the actual poor. I have seen in my area that local public representatives and NGO's are giving essential food items to some particular houses but doesn't giving anything to same types of people living nearby houses. Now this is most shocking to see that you and your neighbour belong to same category, your neighbour getting support from Govt. and NGO's for multiple times but you doesn't get anything.

Lower middle class are important part of our economy. In this situation, both Govt. and others need to think about something about lower middle class otherwise this 'lower middle class' category will be abolished from country. Even their condition will be worse than poor.
