Universities, research institutions of DST, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Department of Biotechnology, Indian Council for Medical Research and Indian Council for Agriculture Research, Institutes of National importance, and other autonomous science and technology Institutions were invited by the DST to participate in pilot of GATI programme.

It's a matter of pride that AIIMS, Bhopal is now a part of this prestigious project and committed to adopting gender parity principles within their policies, practices, action plans and institutional culture.
