Dear IMPRI Well-Wisher,
Greetings from Team IMPRI!
We hope you are well.
With the Delta variant of COVID-19 causing a surge in cases globally, we are reminded to maintain an adherence to COVID appropriate behaviour, and adopt it as a norm. We hope for your safety in these uncertain times.
Our #WebPolicyTalks this week delve into the disenfranchisement of migrants, sustainable development from global and South Asian perspectives, and trade union perspectives on the future of labour codes, among others.
As always, the newsletter will apprise you of these 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!
Thank you for your continued support, encouragement and presence in our endeavours.
Wishing you well for the week ahead,
Anshula Mehta, Senior Assistant Director, IMPRI
