Indian vice-president calls for ‘dismal’ situation to change Share Copy India s Vice-President Shri Venkaiah Naidu has called on his nation to sort out gender imbalance in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and to ensure that students can study in languages other than English. In a speech delivered yesterday at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences in the city of Chennai, where he inaugurated a new residential wing, Naidu described the situation as “dismal.” “Dear sisters and brothers, a major issue of concern in STEM-related employment is the under-representation of women,” he said. “While about 40 per cent of STEM graduates in India are women, which is the highest in the world, women’s share in STEM jobs in India is a mere 14 per cent.”
