The Indian High Commission in Namibia is inviting Namibian girls to apply for the ShakthiSAT project, which is aimed at empowering girls to partake in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).

The Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) has vowed to remain dedicated to driving Namibia's innovation, technology, research, and science fields through academic learning.

The underrepresentation of women and girls in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields continues to persist despite efforts made to promote diversity and inclusion in STEM.

More than 60 students and learners from different institutions in Windhoek were empowered through Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, otherwise known as STEM subjects, at the Namibia University of Science and Technology.
