The Community Resilience Resource Centres (CRRCs) programme of the Department of Science and Technology and UNDP India uses science, technology and innovation to build community resilience and livelihoods after the COVID-19 pandemic. UPES is both an implementer and a knowledge partner.
Prof Neelu Jyothi Ahuja, Professor and Cluster Head in the School of Computer Science, leads the UPES project as Principal Investigator. In May 2023 she spoke at the Eighth Annual United Nations Multi-Stakeholder Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation about how CRRCs support socio-economic recovery.
