New Delhi: The Integrated Flood Warning Systems developed for Mumbai and Chennai to cater to the needs of coastal cities will be extended to Kolkata, Earth Sciences Minister Harsh Vardhan said on Sunday.
He said not only has the percentage of women contributing to science education at the school level increased significantly, but the percentage of women in government laboratories has also increased.
