Dear IMPRI Well-Wisher,
Greetings from Team IMPRI!
We hope you are healthy and safe.
With new vaccine entrants in India, and a simultaneous extension of curbs and lockdown in many parts of the country, we are reminded that the pandemic is far from over, but the hope to combat it lies in strict adherence to safety protocols - wearing a mask, maintaining social distance, and washing hands, along with vaccination.
Curbs are also being eased in many states, as they 'unlock'. Children and their families have suffered immensely in regard to schooling and education over the past year, and the prospective opening up of schools and colleges in a safe and phased manner remains an important point of discussion.
As always, 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. We hope to see you at an event soon!
Wishing you well for the week ahead,
Anshula Mehta, Senior Assistant Director, IMPRI
