A combination of presentations and interactions with participants was used to increase awareness in promoting science and technology. Deliberations were made by distinguished NASI scientists on two main themes, viz. sensitization for the technological empowerment of women and writing scientific papers. Some important topics covered were gender sensitization: changing the mindset; women reproductive health: issues, advances and challenges; technological empowerment of women for social development, scientific paper writing, etc.

Abstract


A three-day workshop on ‘Science and technology sensitization for Uttarakhand’ was held last year, in which 15 Fellows of National Academy of Sciences, India (NASI), 20 scientists and teachers and more than 200 students (M Sc, Ph D and Postdoctoral fellows) participated. A combination of presentations and interactions with participants was used to increase awareness in promoting science and technology. Deliberations were made by distinguished NASI scientists on two main themes, viz. sensitization for the technological empowerment of women and writing scientific papers. Some important topics covered were gender sensitization: changing the mindset; women reproductive health: issues, advances and challenges; technological empowerment of women for social development, scientific paper writing, etc.
