The document discusses the underrepresentation of women in science and engineering fields in India and provides recommendations to promote greater participation. It notes that while female literacy and primary education enrollment is increasing, retention rates decrease at higher levels. Fewer women enroll in technical fields like engineering. It also finds that the number of women in these careers decreases with higher positions and that institutional barriers like lack of basic infrastructure and safety concerns impact women. The document recommends good practices for organizations to adopt like flexible hours, childcare, gender sensitivity training, and equal compensation to promote more women in science and engineering careers in India.
