India’s progress on gender equality is evident through impactful policies and initiatives.

In addition, 43% of India’s STEM graduates are women, the highest proportion in the world, indicating that women have made significant progress in education and professional fields.
Outstanding women like Manu Bhaker, who excelled at the Paris Olympics, not only highlight their excellence in sport but also serve as a source of inspiration for young girls across the country to pursue their dreams in track and field and beyond. The upcoming SheShakti aims to highlight these advancements by showcasing the stories of women who are leading the way in various fields including technology, science, sports, arts and business and leaving their mark globally.
