In the context of higher education and scientific research initiatives in India, the acronym GATI stands for Gender Advancement for Transforming Institutions. Launched as an innovative pilot project by the Department of Science and Technology, this framework is specifically designed to promote gender equity and support women professionals and researchers in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine fields. Participating institutions undergo a structured self-assessment and accreditation process based on a comprehensive gender equity indicator framework to evaluate organizational culture, recruitment policies, and career progression pathways.
