About the Organization

Rukhmabai Initiatives was launched in 2020, in honour of one of India’s first practising female doctors. Our mandate is to work towards recognising and improving the presence of Indian women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics).

A gargantuan task like improving gender representation in STEM, especially amidst the unique and pervasive gender challenges posed by Indian society, requires a sustained and multi-dimensional effort. At Rukhmabai Initiatives, we figured that our best bet to make an impact was to channel our resources and time into three distinct verticals, each complementing the other.

About the Grant

Rukhmabai Initiatives is providing THREE grants of Rs 40,000 each to women journalists for producing three stories— two profiles and one feature story— aligned with the objective of Rukhmabai Initiatives; to inspire and inform people about marginalised genders in STEM. Over the course of the year, the grantees will be invited to participate in short activities to further Rukhmabai team’s vision and efforts in this space.
