Dear IMPRI Well-Wisher,
Greetings from Team IMPRI!
We hope you and your loved ones are well and safe.
As we continue to navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic and the crises it has brought to our individual and collective health, wellbeing and psyche, it remains just as important as before, or even more so, to continue to strictly adhere to safety precautions in the form of wearing masks, washing hands and maintaining physical distance and avoiding crowds and gatherings. It is imperative to not let our guard down, even as the administration of first and second doses of vaccination progresses.
The newsletter will apprise you of the upcoming events, the week's publications, and videos of last week's #WebPolicyTalks in case you missed them.
Wishing you well for the week ahead,
Anshula Mehta, Senior Assistant Director, IMPRI
