About The CII Awards on Excellence for Women in STEM
The CII Awards for Excellence in Women in STEM initiative continues its commitment to enhancing the representation of women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) across industries and academic institutions.
As we progress further into India’s transformative journey during Amritkaal, we recognize that while strides have been made, challenges such as achieving equal representation of women in the STEM workforce remain. To address this, CII is strengthening its resolve by advancing ‘Women in STEM’ as a global movement, forming a cornerstone of the CII National Mission on Technology, Innovation, and Research.
These awards embody CII's and the nation's vision for gender equality in STEM. They highlight our dedication to promoting diversity and inclusivity, acknowledging that women's active participation is pivotal to fostering innovation and driving the progress of organizations in STEM domains.
The second edition of the CII Awards for Excellence in Women in STEM will continue to champion organizations and institutions that have demonstrated remarkable efforts in enhancing gender diversity within STEM fields. By spotlighting these trailblazers, the awards aim to inspire others to prioritize and invest in gender parity, cultivating an ecosystem where women in STEM are not just acknowledged but are integral to leadership and innovation.
Building on the momentum of the inaugural edition, this year’s awards aspire to further establish themselves as a catalyst for change—a rallying cry for organizations and institutions to redouble their efforts toward creating an equitable and inclusive STEM landscape. By participating, you become a part of a movement that celebrates and empowers women, recognizing their vital contributions to the advancements shaping our future.
