Achievements :

YI names to be updated. All YIs who have completed their tenure as YI and are currently working with partner institutions could be Alumni. What about those who have completed tenure and are absorbed by partner institutions but are still putting some time for PRERNA and are also partly paid by PRERNA? Need advice from Cherry and Nita. What do we term such YIs? Senior YI? Not a good term. We need these terminologies while updating the website. The term Young Scientist seems fit for those who have completed the tenure of Young Investigators.
