Dear IMPRI Well-Wisher,
Greetings from Team IMPRI!
We hope you are healthy and safe.
This Week at #IMPRI has completed six months, and we thank you for your continued support, encouragement and presence in our endeavours.
As we enter the next six months and beyond, we hope that we can continue to contribute to research, dialogue and action for education, employment and wellbeing, among much more, as we all collectively recover from the second wave of COVID-19.
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
