Abstract : Sir Winston Churchill once said, “by failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail”, which is clearly seen in India’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although, India came out triumphant after the first wave of the pandemic, the second wave hit her like a tsunami, fatally challenging the healthcare sector and its frontline workers. The common man was left without doctors to consult and oxygen to breathe. Therefore, with the plethora of festivals headed our way and taking into consideration human behavior combined with the easing of restrictions, it is necessary to anticipate, plan and prepare ourselves for the potential outbreak of a third wave of the pandemic. Hereby, this paper will encapsulate the concepts of Operation Research like PERT/CPM to create a Pan India model for handling future pandemics.

Keywords : Covid in India, Swedish Model, Mumbai Model, Healthcare Sector, Network Analysis, Emergency Response Systems.
