Sony India Software Centre Pvt Ltd (SISCPL) has created five fellowships for women students pursuing M Tech at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in the field of computing sciences.
The initiative from SISCPL, which is based in Bengaluru, is a part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) pledge which aims to promote women students interested in pursuing careers in the technology sector.
"I hope we can grow this partnership and have many more women opting for sciences and this, in turn, contributes to improving gender diversity in organisations," says Masayuki Toriumi, Managing Director of SISCPL.
Students pursuing M Tech programmes in Robotics and Autonomous Systems, Artificial Intelligence, Computational and Data Science, Computer Science and Engineering, and Electronics and Communication Engineering will be eligible for the fellowships.
It was reported that the fellowship would include a monthly scholarship for the duration of the course as well as an unlimited study grant that would cover travel expenses, laptop purchases, and other consumables.
The fellowships are intended to encourage more women to pursue higher education at IISc, especially in engineering and technology, in order to address gender disparity in these fields and increase the number of female students, according to the statement. The fellowships will be given out starting in August 2021.
