“…The training programmes on leadership and capacity-building practically help in building up a network of women scientists who share similar experiences or barriers at workplace. It is important to create a gender-enabling environment in institutions to make the work climate women-friendly at all levels of the institutions (Gupte et al, 2002). Institutions could initiate change by designing career development programmes for developing effective communication skills and writing style, particularly acquiring skills on proposal writing, creating atmosphere for team building and research collaborations, and developing mentorship programmes focusing on creating opportunities for networking and role models for future generation of women scientists (Gupta et al, 2015;Gupte et al, 2002;Kurup et al, 2010;Subrahmanyan, 1995).…”

The field of ‘women in science’ in India is evolving with policies that could support ending gender discrimination in the practice and culture of science. Gender inclusivity in science is a complex phenomenon, and it differs in forms and scale across institutions. This complexity has invoked feminist scholars, governments, and organisations to critically engage with issues of gender inequities in science. This article, based on a sample study, seeks to understand the idea of gender inclusivity in science, and the discrimination and marginalisation women scientists face, while exploring how they negotiate institutional spaces and address specific and unique challenges in their everyday reality.
