Department of Science and Technology (DST) has launched a scheme “National Training Programme for Scientists & Technologists working in Government Sector” under the ‘DISHA’ Scheme. As a part of this scheme, the DST has initiated training programmes exclusively for women scientists/technologists. The scheme has been proved to be very popular and meaningful initiative towards capacity building and empowering the women scientists and technologists in a holistic manner.

The main objectives of the scheme are (i) to expose Indian scientists/technologists to latest scientific, technological, economic and social developments in the country, (ii) to provide a forum for interaction, experience-sharing and exchange of views amongst scientific community and (iii) to generate responsiveness amongst scientists to the needs and expectations of the citizens of the country.

As a part of this scheme, the Wildlife Institute of India is organizing one-week training workshop on ‘Biodiversity Conservation’ at the Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun from 19^th-23^rd March 2018.
