Description
On February 11, 2024, the Indian National Science Academy (INSA), New Delhi, hosted the opening of the "Science for Women-A Technology & Innovation (SWATI)" Portal to commemorate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Professor Ajay Kumar Sood, the Principal Scientific Advisor to the Government of India, spearheaded this critical move toward tackling gender disparities in science and technology.
Addressing Gender Gaps Through Policymaking
Professor Sood stressed the importance of the SWATI Portal's database in developing strategies to address gender imbalance.
This webpage attempts to close the gender gap and promote inclusivity in science and technology by centralizing information on Indian women and girls in STEMM domains (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine).
A Milestone In Indian Science: The First-Of-Its-Kind Portal
The National Institute of Plant Genome Research (NIPGR) in New Delhi, led by Dr. Subhra Chakraborty, designed, hosts, and maintains the portal.
The SWATI Portal is India's first of its type. Dr. Chakraborty emphasized its interactive aspects, which make it an engaging venue to showcase women's achievements in STEMM.
Objectives And Features Of The SWATI Portal
The SWATI Portal aspires to engage every Indian woman in science at all career phases and subjects, including academia and industry.
It is an interactive database with categories such as icons, faculty members, research fellows, students, entrepreneurs, and professionals in alternative vocations. Currently, the portal hosts 3000 'WiS Data Cards,' with plans for continued expansion.
Empowering Women For A Better Future
Initiatives such as the SWATI Portal pave the way for a more inclusive and innovative future in which women have an active role in scientific pursuits by encouraging gender sensitization, mentorship, and skill development.
The SWATI Portal strives to promote inclusivity, information sharing, and collaboration among women in STEMM sectors. By providing prominence and recognition, it hopes to encourage the next generation of female scientists and entrepreneurs, thereby furthering science and innovation in India and beyond.
