Vice President Appeals To Withdraw Gender Bias From STEM related Professions
India's Vice President, M Venkaiah Naidu on January 5 has appealed for equalizing racial difference in STEM-related jobs i.e. in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths-related professions. He stated that India creates the world's highest numbers of STEM graduates women i.e. 40%, but the employment rate is quite poor at 14% which requires improvement. "Due to the government's effort, the number of girl students at the IIT rose from 8% in 2016 to 20% now, Naidu added.
