International Women’s Day- Random thoughts of a Woman Scientist > 자유게시판

채팅솔루션 India, a country rich in its cultures and traditions has deep reverence to women since 앱부스터 ancient times. We not only pray to female deities as per our religious leanings but 마케팅 전문가 also celebrate national festivals by their names. Examples include the Saraswati Puja for the “Goddess 아이피 변경 of Knowledge” or the Lakshmi Puja for the “Goddess of Wealth”. The ancient texts quote 가상 컴퓨터 “यत्र नार्यस्तु पूज्यन्ते रमन्ते तत्र देवताः । यत्रैतास्तु न पूज्यन्ते सर्वास्तत्राफलाः क्रियाः ।। मनुस्मृति ३/५६ 프로그램 스토어 ।।“Growing up with these beliefs and foundation, it is indeed surprising that I hear the 앱개발 need for gender parity in the country. I think it is important to look into NEW DB facts for greater introspection to address this grave issue. One also wonders if there is 어플제작 an actual dearth of women achievers? Is it so difficult in identifying them? How do 게임 VPN we bring them to mainstream and give them leadership roles?I start with the Global Gender 일반채팅 Gap Report 2020 that places India at 112 among 153 countries studied, stating therewith that 마케팅프로그램 one of the key reasons for this is the difference in the literacy rate between 마케팅프로그램 men (82%) and women (66%). India is reported to be the only country where the 영업 economic gender gap is larger than the political gender gap. Statistics reveal that we need DB추출기 about 99.5 years and about 71 years to close the gender gap globally and in 개발업체 the South Asian region, respectively.All is not bad, as the report indicates that India has 프로그램스토어 a relatively smaller gender gap in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) higher education. In 가상 윈도우 컴퓨터 the area of Cloud Computing considered to be one of the “male professions” of the 개발회사 future, India and Italy are close to gender parity. That’s indeed something to rejoice!Continuing on DB프로그램 this note of celebrating achievements and successes, however small they may be, got me to 자동콜백 remind myself that the year 2020 saw 4 women Nobel laureates. However, a careful look 채팅어플 at the facts points out that in about120 years of its institution, women laureates include 재능마켓 a mere 58 out of 962 awardees so far: just about 6% of the total. 플레이스토어 검색 What’s more surprising to me was that the first women laureate in Chemistry from the 몽키VPN United States of America was only in 2018.This made me also look into the highest 스마트폰콜백 and most coveted national award in Science, the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar (SSB) Prize. Instituted in APP 개발회사 1958 and now covering seven disciplines, the women winners of this SSB prize constitute a 챗솔루션 mere 3.2% (18 of 560 awardees in the last 62 years). I then shifted my 가상 윈도우 attention to the inspiring Infosys Prize winners, to look for signs of gender parity. Instituted 문자명함 in 2008 with just one category of Mathematical Sciences, today it covers six different disciplines. 화상채팅 In the last 13 years, 74 scientists and scholars were awarded the prestigious Infosys prize. 영업문자 Among them, 17 are women awardees constituting a healthier ~23% of the total. The humanities VPN and social sciences saw five women achievers each, followed by three in life sciences, 2 프로그램 in engineering and computer sciences, and one each in physical and mathematical sciences.How does one 마케팅스토어 address this gap of due recognition of women’s talent and expertise? Do we look for 앱마케팅 systemic and structural changes starting at the very first step when seeking nominations? Can we 마케팅 VPN subscribe to the idea that every male nomination needs to be complemented with a female 무료콜백문자 nomination as well, not limiting oneself to one’s own institution?One the matters of handling day 실행사 to day activities, we often seem to be at crossroads of whether to tread the 마케팅기업 path already taken or take the untrodden path. We look for role models to take 채팅앱개발 confidence and motivation from, so to move forward towards the desired goal. For some of 영업디비 us, even the well-trodden path is aplenty with challenges. Few don’t give up despite the 마케팅 프로그램 hurdles.Dr Kiran Mazumdar Shah and Dr Swati Piramal, ladies of the pharma and biotech sector, 앱개발 lead by example. The COVID-19 pandemic gave us new leaders to take encouragement from – 마케팅프로그램 Dr Sowmya Swaminathan and Dr. Gagandeep Kang. Lt Gen Madhuri Kanitkar and Flt Lt Bhawana 자동문자 Kanth inspire us to take bold steps forward to reach great heights. On the aspects VPN 서비스 of ethics, respect to people’s livelihood and environment, while keeping ourselves grounded, Dr Vandana Shiva 온라인 마케팅 and Mrs Sudha Murthy are great leaders to look up to. Though far and few, 게임IP these are all women leaders of the current times.The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research 원격 컴퓨팅 (CSIR) saw its first woman Director in the year 2013, after 71 years of its 앱스토어 검색 inception. Today we have four woman Directors leading four of its constituent laboratories. The CSIR 마케팅 서비스 Hq has four ladies handling the affairs of its four directorates/Units, efficiently dealing with science 마케팅IP management, diplomacy and administration. Small step but a celebratory one to take pride of!Coming back 콜백문자서비스 to the need for closing gender gaps, the preceding paras highlight gaps and emerging trends 스마트문자 to bridge the cause. The questions therefore are what and how do we emulate as 앱솔루션 success stories and best practices to cover a larger canvas and help us leap frog VPN or pole vault to achieve our goals, and by when?When I started working on this 콜백문자 note, I thought that I might actually find practical solutions. However, it seems that I VPN 서비스 am left with more questions than before!Awareness is key for the change or transformation we 마케팅 스토어 aspire to bring about. The celebration of International Women’s Day is one such to ensure 채팅어플제작 we revisit our experiences, share them, help each other, take inspiration from the achievers while we continue to #choosetochallenge!My greetings to all on the International Women’s Day! Dr. Viswajanani J SattigeriHead, Traditional Knowledge Digital LibraryCSIR
