Dear IMPRI Well-wisher,
We hope you are well and safe.
On the occasion of Teachers' Day - September 5 - the IMPRI team sends its best wishes to all the teachers in the country working tirelessly through the immense challenges presented by the pandemic, towards the edification and wellbeing of students amid uncertain times and a paradigm shift for education.
Cities and employment are the focal point of this week's #WebPolicyTalks at IMPRI, with talks on The Serendipity Mindset: The Art & Science of Creating Good Luck, in Cities and Beyond; Urban Water, Food and Waste Cycling, and Socio-economic Equity, and the e-SHRAM Database for Unorganised Workers. We hope you are able to join us for one of these, or for more in the coming weeks.
The newsletter, as always, will apprise you of these upcoming events, IMPRI's recent publications, and videos of #WebPolicyTalks in case you missed them.
Wishing you the best for the week ahead,
Anshula Mehta, Senior Assistant Director, IMPRI
