It is with great sadness that we announce that Dr Amrita Patel, from DECCMA consortium member Sansristi, passed away in January 2020. Amrita was part of the Mahanadi delta team and played a key role in Work Package One on stakeholder engagement and governance. She was also a valued member of our gender team. Her colleagues offered the above tribute.
