Dear IMPRI Well-wisher,
We hope you are well and safe.
Over 800 million coronavirus vaccine doses have been administered in India - with over 200 million adults having received the second dose, and we can take this as a moment to move forward with hope while strictly adhering to existing safety protocols.
This week's events focus on wide-ranging themes including the caste census, energy policy, India's demographic and health data, and safe sanitation.
The newsletter, as always, will apprise you of our 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
