The president pointed out that \u201cour daughters perform better when given the opportunity\u201d. She noted that the participation of girls in technology institutions is also increasing. She said efforts must be made to promote the presence and excellence of women students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a fact that the higher educational institutions that create new knowledge through quality researches continue to be globally renowned. In such educational institutions, many Nobel Laureates provide guidance to research scholars. Our collective effort to position India as a knowledge-power is progressing in such a global context. \u201dOn the strength of dedication, confidence and hard work, we can achieve the national goals of higher education. The leaders of educational institutions have a major responsibility in transforming India into a knowledge super-power,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
