Learning platform for power sector utilities in India

December 27, 2017

The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), with the support of Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation (SSEF), has launched a Distribution Utilities Forum (DUF) that brings together various distribution utilities across India to a single platform and envisages taking up issues and challenges in the distribution sector towards enabling distribution reforms. Based on the suggestions made by the Forum members in the first meeting of Distribution Utility Forum held on 4th May 2018, three themes have been identified.

Strengthening evidence-based advocacy for influenza prevention and control in India

December 27, 2017

| Air

This is an evidence- based study involving air quality assessment in the household environment. TERI’s role in this study is to provide aid in the monitoring of particulate matter (PM2.5) at the household level. This project will cover air quality assessment of around 50 households in the village belt of Ballabhgarh Tehsil of Faridabad district in Haryana. This is to check the association of the exposure of particulate matter mainly PM2.5 with human health.
