KIRAN (Knowledge Involvement in Research Advancement through Nurturing) is an initiative by the Department of Science & Technology (DST), Government of India. One of the key objectives and specific schemes under KIRAN (like Women Scientists Scheme – WOS) is to provide opportunities to women scientists who have had a break in their careers, typically due to family reasons such as childbirth, child care, or care of elderly parents.

– The initiative aims to bring women scientists back into the mainstream of science and research.
– It provides research grants and other support mechanisms.

While women scientists pursuing research in various fields, including life sciences, or those involved in collaborative projects might benefit from various schemes, the specific focus of a major component of the KIRAN initiative is on providing opportunities for women who have experienced a career break.
