Governor calls for more women in science
Hyderabad, Oct.10 (NSS): Governor Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan on Monday called for encouraging more girls to take up research in science.
“There must be more number of women in science and technology to bridge the gender gap in research,” she added.
The Governor, as the chief guest, was addressing the “Women Scientists Conclave: Self Reliance,” at the CSIR-IICT, here.
She exhorted the parents and other family members to encourage the girls to take up science streams and pursue careers in research.

Everyone is endowed with unlimited potential,” she added. Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan envisioned greater role for women scientists in helping the country realise its goal of becoming a five
trillion-dollar economy during the next couple of years.
