Tejal Kanitkar co-authored Associate Professor, Energy, Environment and Climate Change Programme Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the Indian economy: A critical analysis. http://dx.doi.org/10.22201/fe.01851667p.2021.315.76845 Investigation Economica, July 2020 This paper is an analysis of the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in India. The economic crisis after March 2020 affected all the sectors of the Indian economy and led to a loss of employment to the tune of at least 15 million. Using an Input-Output (I-O) framework, we create four scenarios of losses to the Indian economy. We estimate that India’s GDP growth rate in 2020-2021 may range from –4.3% to –15%. |

Anindya Sinha, Sayan Banerjee co-authored Anindya Sinha is Professor; Sayan Banerjee is PhD Scholar, Animal Behaviour and Cognition Programme ‘The devil is in the detail’: Peer-review of the wildlife conservation plan by the Wildlife Institute of India for the Etalin hydropower project, Dibang valley. https://zoosprint.zooreach.org/index.php/zp/issue/view/540/showToc Zoo’s Print, May 2020 This report was prepared in response to the Forest Advisory Committee’s (FAC) recommendation to conduct “a multiple seasonal replicate study on biodiversity assessment” of the 3097 MW Etalin Hydro Electric Project (HEP) in Dibang Valley, Arunachal Pradesh. The review has found that the study was conducted in under five five months from February to June 2018 and cannot be considered as a ‘multiple seasonal replicate’ study as it does not represent three seasons in Arunachal Pradesh. |

Rudrodip Majumdar co-authored Assistant Professor, Energy, Environment and Climate Change Programme Novel Dimension Scaling for Optimal Mass Flow Rate Estimation in Low-Temperature Flat Plate Solar Collector based on Thermal Performance https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2451904920300871 Thermal Science and Engineering Progress, May 2020 In this study, a simplified energy equations-based dynamic model is used to develop working relationships for calculating the collector dimensions and the optimum heat transfer fluid (HTF) mass flow rate for achieving a predefined thermal efficiency. The computational results for the geometrical configuration corresponding to an average DNI, calculated from actual solar radiation data, indicate that to achieve a fixed temperature and a collector efficiency, the required HTF mass flow rate increases with an increasing level of solar radiation. |

V V Binoy co-authored Associate Professor, Animal Behaviour and Cognition Programme The Bold are the Sociable’: Personality traits and laterality in an indigenous megafish, the Deccan Mahseer (Tor khudree) https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10228-020-00744-8#:~:text=The%20present%20study%20explored%20the,of%20central%20and%20southern%20India. Co-Authored with Vishwanath Varma, Harsh Vasoya, Anushka Jain. Ichthyological Research 67: 483–492 The present study explored the relationships between the personality traits boldness, activity, exploration, and sociability, and lateralized utilisation of brain hemispheres in the hatchery-reared juveniles of Deccan Mahseer (Tor khudree), an endangered megafish inhabiting the rivers of central and southern India. |

Sindhu Radhakrishna co-authored Professor and Head, Animal Behaviour and Cognition Programme Using conditioned taste aversion to reduce human-nonhuman primate conflict: A comparison of four potentially illness-inducing drugs https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S016815912030023X?casa= Applied Animal Behaviour Science, April 2020 This study deals with human-wildlife conflict in the form of crop-and livestockdepredation and exploits Conditioned Taste Aversion (CTA) strategy, a non-lethal and effective method to control crop damage caused by vertebrate pests, to reduce crop damage. |
