Radhika Sinha – Principal, Aditya Birla World Academy – “Women have demonstrated time and again that they are relentless in their pursuit of solutions to challenging problems. In a multitude of industries, including healthcare, hospitality, politics, and innovation, women have taken the lead. The idea is to encourage women to actively challenge preconceptions and remind themselves that they should not be afraid to follow their goals and dreams. Technology, in conjunction with the internet, allows anyone anywhere in the world to expand and establish a business while also providing access to a wealth of information.
As how we think and how we comprehend is ingrained in our childhood, I believe it is the responsibility of schools, teachers and parents to ensure that, like boys, girls are given adequate exposure to STEM-related concepts (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) through conducting sessions, activities, and other means. This would help dispel the myth that technology professions aren’t for women, and more girls would choose educational paths such as data analytics, engineering, and statistics. Women in our country are setting records and making breakthroughs in various sectors. Let us all make a commitment to supporting gender equality and eliminating inequity between men and women.”
