  • Researchers from IIT Delhi have developed web-based dashboard to predict the spread of COVID-19 in India. 
  • The dashboard has been named PRACRITI-Prediction and Assessment of Corona Infections and Transmissions in India.
  • The dashboard provides basic reproduction number “R naught”. 
  • R0 is the number of people that the virus spreads to from a single infected person.
  • The dashboard provides R0 value for every district, state based on the data available from the National Disaster Management Authority, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and World Health Organization.
  • Hence, with the help of R0 value, future predictions of the spread of the disease can be obtained.
