India, Feb. 4 -- IIT Delhi hosted the second "Transformative Leadership in STEMM (TLS) Workshop," an annual national-level mentoring program for advanced-stage Ph.D. scholars from the SC/ST community.

The initiative is aimed at encouraging and empowering Ph.D scholars from the SC/ST community to apply for faculty positions at prestigious institutions like IITs, NITs, and other higher educational institutions (HEIs).
