Science Embodies Curiosity, Critical Thinking & Problem-Solving for Indian Youth
For India to emerge as a global leader in innovation, it is critical to equip younger generations with a scientific mindset. For Indian youth, especially women, science embodies curiosity, critical thinking and problem-solving. By embracing STEM education, seeking mentorship, and nurturing a spirit of inquiry, young women can overcome obstacles and lead impactful change. A society driven by scientific thinking thrives on innovation, and when women take the lead, we unlock the full potential of Viksit Bharat.
Your STEM Inspiration
Growing up, I was inspired by the incredible achievements of Dr. Marie Curie. Her groundbreaking work in radioactivity, winning Nobel Prizes in 2 different scientific fields, and her determination to advance science despite the obstacles she faced as a woman left a lasting impact on me. Beyond famous personalities, I was also deeply inspired by my teachers and mentors—those who encouraged my curiosity, challenged me to think critically, and showed me that STEM was a space where I belonged.
