As part of the “Evolving Trends in India” series, Richa Khanduri, Sci-ROI@Blogs team member, blogs on 'STIP2020: A Step Towards Self-Reliant India'.The global COVID-19 pandemic crisis led India to review its existing Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy (STIP). This led to STIP2020 which aims to build a robust Science, Technology, and Innovation ecosystem for an “Atmanirbhar” or self-reliant India. This paves the way for a more sustainable growth including socio-economic development, environmental sustainability, and global competence.

Kalki is currently pursuing her Ph.D. at Harvard University, in Boston, Massachusetts. She studies how embryos develop into organisms and how embryonic cells diversify into different types of cells to form functional tissues and organs such as brain, heart, blood, skin, etc. Specifically, she is studying how cell division and differentiation are coordinated during embryo development. She is leveraging single cell sequencing and imaging-based technologies to measure fate choice and differentiation rate.
Kalki always wanted to stay connected to Indian academia and help bridge the gap between science in India and developed countries such as the United States. When she learnt about SCI-ROI, she was excited to contribute towards that. As a volunteer here, she is part of the organizing committee of a webinar on single cell-omics in India and a Vlog on the response of Indian academics to the Covid 19 pandemic. She also helps with editing some of the blogs and managing Sci-ROI’s twitter account.
