The event commemorates the 75 years of independence and recognizes the role of Women in Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics, IIT Roorkee said.

Taking about the compendium, Prof. Ajit K Chaturvedi, Director, IIT Roorkee, said, I am delighted that five of our women colleagues have been recognized by this unique distinction. This is also a recognition of the impact IIT Roorkee is creating towards facilitating women faculty in STEM disciplines to give their best."

While launching the compendium of Women in Stem, Prof Sood highlighted,"With just 16 percent women workforce in Stem, we need to step up our efforts in this direction. Initiatives by the Government included in the National Education Policy, Policy for Science and Technology, and the current summit is in the right spirit. Moreover, through the office of PSA, a cluster mechanism is formulated including corporates and academia to address the concern of Women in Science in general and Women in Stem in particular."
