India has set a world record with 40 % enrolment of women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields.
India is said to have reached a 'watershed' moment both for STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects and innovation in the wider industries. How has India achieved an almost equal gender divide and edged ahead of developing nations?
In response to its accelerating digital evolution, India has formulated a well-detailed roadmap towards making STEM more accessible and attractive to women. This spans from sparking a STEM culture in schools, right up to creating more opportunities for women within research and development teams.
At AtkinsRéalis, we share this commitment to diversity and inclusion, creating an environment where women in STEM can thrive, contribute to groundbreaking projects, and advance their careers in a supportive and collaborative setting.
By joining AtkinsRéalis, women in India and across the globe can be part of a global team leading innovation in infrastructure, engineering, and technology.
Fostering a STEM culture in the classroom
Encouraging more women to pursue STEM at university starts with fostering a STEM culture in schools.
This means creating an environment where curiosity is nurtured, students are inspired to become changemakers, and they learn how the world around them works.
By instilling a love for learning, we empower the next generation to pursue careers in fields like civil engineering, environmental science, or even project management, where STEM skills—such as strong mathematical ability—are essential for success.
Initiatives that are making a STEM career more attractive for young females
In India's growing economy, investing in STEM education is crucial to meet the rising demand for skilled professionals.
The Indian government has implemented initiatives like the KIRAN programme, which offers career opportunities and fellowships for women in science and technology, inspiring females at all stages of their education to pursue impactful careers.
Other programs, such as CURIE and the Indo-US Fellowship for Women in STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine), provide women access to advanced research labs, helping address the underrepresentation of Indian women in research, where they account for 15% of the workforce compared to 30% globally.
Building a better future
In recent years, India has made significant strides toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in fostering innovation and strengthening industry infrastructure.
However, for India to maintain its momentum and continue being recognized for its pioneering solutions in areas like transportation, cities, and sustainable industry, it must place an even greater focus on the role of women in these sectors.
Diversity—across gender, backgrounds, and abilities—is essential to driving sustainability. As India faces critical challenges such as the climate crisis, the need for diverse, innovative thinkers has never been more urgent.
