Government Launches Online Campaign To Celebrate Women In Science
Union Textiles and WCD Minister Smriti Irani
Women and Child Development Ministry in association with Ministry of Education, MyGov and Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology launched an online campaign to celebrate women in Science.
This campaign celebrates women who have carved a niche for themselves in the field of Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). It also encourages young girls who aspire to excel in STEM and contribute towards nation building, an official release said.
The campaign honours young girls from across the country who have performed well in Maths and Science.
The campaign was launched on 11 February as it is celebrated as International Day of Women and Girls in Science. The day recognises the critical role women and girls play in science and technology.
The United Nations recognised 11 February as International Day of Women and Girls in Science in 2015 with an aim to promote full and equal access to participation in science for women and girls.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
