A single online portal on Indian women in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics & Medicine (STEMM) was launched on Sunday(11-02-2024) which could help in policy-making to address the challenges of gender gap in sciences.

The "Science for Women- A Technology & Innovation (SWATI)" Portal is a complete interactive database and the first-of-its-kind in India which is developed, hosted and maintained by the National Institute of Plant Genome Research (NIPGR), an official statement said here.

This is a dynamically growing portal and the endeavour is to have data of all women scientists of the country available at a click of a button, NIPGR Director Subhra Chakraborty said.
