The gender inequality in science has been globally recognised as a serious problem. In India, the gender gap in the science profession is particularly large at faculty and higher levels. Although a few individual women scientists have been working since pre-independence era, the awareness of gender-based impediments for women scientists is of more recent origin. Late Prof. Rohini Godbole has played a major role in promoting gender equity in science, both at national and International level.
As a tribute to her efforts, this colloquium is organised in two parts. The first part will bring forth a brief overview of the current status of women in science and challenges in the Indian context, with some glimpses of Prof. Godbole's work in this aspect.
This will be followed by a panel discussion to brainstorm on institutional efforts for promoting Gender Equity in science.
Panelists : Priyanka Chaturvedi, Amol Dighe , Vandana Nanal, Manoj Poorvankara
