However, the latest data from the YouGov-Mint-CPR Millennial Survey suggests that this is most likely a colossal underestimation of actual deaths. 17% survey respondents said they lost someone in their household due to covid-19 since the beginning of 2021. The YouGov-Mint-CPR Millennial Survey was conducted online during June-July 2021, and covered 10,285 respondents from unique households spread across 203 cities and towns. The state-wise figures should however be seen only as rough estimates given the wide variation in the share of urban population and the share of survey respondents across states. This is the second of a four-part data journalism series on the covid experiences of India’s digital natives.
