Dear IMPRI Well-wisher,
We hope you are well and safe.
On the occasion of the International Day for Older Persons - October 1 - IMPRI is hosting a discussion on building age-friendly communities and the role of planning and policymaking in addressing equity. Gandhi Jayanti too, a day later, reminds us to reaffirm our commitment to inclusive welfare and tolerance for a diversity of thought. We hope you can join us for this deliberation, which assumes further importance amid the pandemic and the resultant heightened vulnerabilities for the elderly.
Other events this week focus on a host of pertinent diplomacy issues and implications for India, the intersection of gender and media, and energy cooperation in South Asia, and more.
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
