Abstract
The outbreak of COVID19 has affected all segments of the population. The constitution in his Part III guaranteed fundamental rights with article 21 of the Indian Constitution. It provides that, ''No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to the procedure established by the law.'' In 1992, the Supreme Court declared that the Indians at all levels shall be given this new 'Right to education'. This new right has been held to be a part of the Fundamental Right to life under Article 21 of the Constitution by the 86th Constitutional Amendment Act of 2002. Due to this pandemic, our right to life and liberty has effected a lot, for example right to privacy, Right to livelihood, and right to education. During Lockdown students are unable to attend their school and colleges. They did not get quality of education. Online classes are going on but it could not run effectively in the remotest area or village. With the inception of the lockdown public discourse was shaped three major rights. These were the right to life, the right to health, and the right to food. During this pandemic our government has assured food for all & right to health to all individuals. Despite these effort limited healthcare facilities and interruption in regular immunizations in hospitals leading to anxiety and fear among the population. Inadequate infrastructures, leading to ill-equipped healthcare employees who are fighting endlessly to treat patients and protect themselves from infection at the same time are all quite visible that their right to life and liberty are in danger. These days our right life and liberty have badly affected by COVID 19. It is the duty of the government to take major steps towards protection of this right. we cannot enjoy other rights without article 21.
