Newsletter

We introduced an emblem to mark 40-years of our founding and ran a brief campaign on twitter showcasing some of our past events and speakers (@ICRIER).

Our faculty members published over 25 op-ed articles, a new quarterly bulletin and a report on India’s Electronics Industry. We also organized a book launch event in August and released a working paper in collaboration with external contributors.

ICRIER released the first Agri-Food Trends and Analytics Bulletin (AF-TAB) titled “COVID-19 and Indian Agriculture: From Crisis to Opportunities”, April – June 2021, Issue 1. It is edited by Dr. Ashok Gulati, and includes blog-style articles summarizing various research work being carried out by our Agricultural Policy, Sustainability and Innovation (APSI) team. Not unexpectedly, there was an overwhelming response to the first issue of AF-TAB.

We published the report “India’s Electronics Industry: Potential for Domestic Manufacturing and Exports” which examines the effectiveness of India’s current policies and programs to achieve the goal of ‘Make in India for the World’, with emphasis on the electronics manufacturing industry.

ICRIER organised a virtual event to launch the book, “An Economist at Home and Abroad” by Dr. Shankar Acharya, Honorary Professor at ICRIER and India’s longest serving Chief Economic Advisor. More than 250 participants spread across more than 10 countries participated in the event.

We hope you will take some time to glance through this newsletter. We would love to hear from you.
