Dear IMPRI Well-wisher,

Season's Greetings!

The IMPRI Team wishes you good health and wellbeing for 2022.

With the ongoing surge in COVID cases across the country, we hope that you continue to stay safe and follow the evolving protocols and COVID appropriate behaviour.

As our newsletter completes a year, we thank you for your continued support for and engagement with our #WebPolicyTalks and writings.

In 2022, we will return to you with a host of important deliberations on themes ranging from cohesive development, labour movements, and economic narratives, to governance in India's small towns, population data, the peri-urban, women's access to finance, and many 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 - as well as some of our most popular ones from 2021.

We hope to see you soon at one of our #WebPolicyTalks.

Wishing you an Inspiring and Expansive New Year 2022!


Anshula Mehta, Senior Assistant Director, IMPRI
