If the covid-19 pandemic has exposed the vulnerabilities of India’s healthcare system , it has also exposed the inadequacy of India’s university system. At a time when the world’s universities have been at the forefront in the battle against the novel coronavirus, Indian universities are still not on the frontlines yet.

Researchers from the Peking University in China first produced evidence last month that there was not one, but two strains of the novel coronavirus.
