‌
‌
‌

Dear IMPRI Well-wisher,

Greetings!

We hope you are safe and well.


The past week at IMPRI saw a host of #WebPolicyTalks in the days following the Budget 2022-23 announcement on February 1. Do read on for video recordings and reports of these deliberations, as well as perspectives on Union Budget 2022 from a range on experts on employment, gender issues, education, urban and rural development, health, and more.

In the coming week, we gather to remember Prof R. Radhakrishna, eminent economist and an academician of international repute.

The newsletter, as always, will apprise you of these upcoming events, IMPRI's recent publications, and videos of #WebPolicyTalks in case you missed them.

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

Wishing you the best for the week ahead,

Anshula Mehta, Senior Assistant Director, IMPRI
