Abstract: Abstract Amidst the global health emergency, when couples of academicians are devoted to pursuing their research linked with COVID-19, this present chapter is purposively concerned with the lesser-highlighted issue of customarily categorized livelihoods scenario, on a spatial basis, in one of the nations of Global South. The prime objective of the present section is to find out the fundamental fashion of regional deviation as well as the concentration of livelihood and future suggestions for suitable policy proposals. While this volume is systematically based on secondary datasets from recognized sources and the methods are being adopted after judiciary modification of established modus operandi like ‘crop combination’, ‘location quotient’, ‘crop diversification’, and ‘GDP geographical area ratio’. On the other side, for the overall ‘livelihood zone map’ (LZM), the standard ‘Z’-score method, and GIS mapping tool have been used. Although the regional data-oriented outcome is much voluminous, in a nutshell, it can be affirmed that in Goa, Delhi (NCR), West Bengal, and Manipur, the quality of livelihood condition is well, while among rest of the Indian states and union territories, the status is below the desired level. Conclusively, for a more precise and area-oriented suitable policy proposal, more research work has been needed for the novel development of livelihood conditions and the country’s economic base.
