The Covid Impact Survey was conducted by Azim Premji University, in collaboration with nine Civil Society Organisations (CSO), studying 3,000 households in 92 low-income settlements across 33 wards of Bengaluru in November 2021. 

It was undertaken to estimate the continuing impact of COVID-19 induced lockdowns and economic disruptions of employment and livelihoods. 

It also captured information on access to government support as well as coping mechanisms.
