Guj sees 120% rise in girls choosing engg disciplines
Ahmedabad: In engineering colleges of Gujarat, a silent gender revolution is taking shape. An increasing number of girls are breaking into traditionally male-dominated specialisations like mechanical and civil engineering, while maintaining their strong presence in computer science, information technology and robotics. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In 2022, 3,313 seats in various branches (B.E/ through the Admission Committee for Professional Courses (ACPC) were taken up by girls. This year the number has already reached 7,272, a brilliant 120% rise from 2022, that too when the second round of engineering intake is still on. As more rounds take place, officials expect this number to surely rise further. Several factors are shaping these winds of change in both centralised and state admissions. Key among them are the state's push for gender parity in STEM fields, and a big boost to girl students by premier institutions in the form of scholarships, fellowships and tuition waivers. Dr Nilay Bhuptani, ACPC member-secretary and principal of LD College of Engineering (LDCE), said that at his college alone, the number of girl students has increased from 224 to 349 in three years, or a rise of 56%. "The trend we are witnessing is encouraging. While computer/ IT has remained the favoured branch for girl students, in the past few years representation has increased in other branches, from mechanical to civil as well," said Prof Rajul Gajjar, vice chancellor of Gujarat Technological University (GTU). "In robotics, for instance, girls have made a mark, and have more than 50% representation." However, the overall share of girls taking up the total available engineering seats generally hovers around 15-20%, indicate experts. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now To boost this, several premier educational institutes have announced or implemented encouraging incentives. Dhirubhai Ambani University (DAU) has seen a 49% rise in the number of female engineering students — from 49 in 2022 to 73 in 2024. "This year's early trends are also encouraging," said its executive registrar, Siddharth Swaminarayan, adding that this year, DAU has announced special fellowships for girl students. "Five fellowships have been announced wherein eligible girl students will get a 100% tuition fee waiver for all four years of study, with the fellowship's renewal subject to them maintaining a good academic performance. The fellowship will be available to the top four girls who have achieved JEE all-India rank (AIR) between 1 and 10,000, and one top girl achieving an ACPC rank between 1 and 50," he said. Prof S Sundar Manoharan, director-general of PDEU, too called the trend encouraging. "Admissions for the 2025-26 academic year are still on, and we have already admitted 342 girls including 283 from the all-India quota," Manoharan said. "Last year, the total number was 363, including 265 from the All-India quota. We believe we will cross this number. We have a minimum quota of 20% to ensure we have good representation of girl students in all engineering disciplines. Besides, meritorious girl students are offered scholarships to encourage them to pursue STEM." Prof Anup Singh, director-general of Nirma University, said the institution has observed that availability of on-campus or university-run accommodation is a major factor behind parents sending their daughters for higher studies. "There surely has been a rise in the number of girl students. This is reflected in the fact that we have nearly doubled our accommodation facilities for girl students to 1,500 this year, and aim to further increase it to 2,500 by next year to ensure that all girl students wishing to avail the facility are extended the same," he said. At IIT Gandhinagar, the number of girls has increased from 50 in 2021 to 72 in 2025, a 44% rise, but in batch composition, their share has remained around 20%, said officials.

Nearly 300 pages of Atlanta's ‘Cop City' records released after first-of-its-kind ruling
More than a year after a digital news outlet and a research group sued the Atlanta Police Foundation for allegedly violating Georgia's open records law, the foundation has sent plaintiffs nearly 300 pages of records linked to its role as the driving force behind the police training center known as 'Cop City'. The outcome 'opens the door to what we want; it's a guide stone for getting records from police foundations, so they can't be a black box', said Matt Scott, executive director of Atlanta Community Press Collective (ACPC), an Atlanta-based digital news outlet and one of two plaintiffs in the case. 'A city can't use police foundations as a way of getting around providing public records,' Scott added. The APF did not reply to an email from the Guardian seeking comment. ACPC and Lucy Parsons Labs, the two plaintiffs, got the records after Jane Barwick, the Fulton county superior court judge, concluded a bench trial by ruling that the foundation was 'under a duty to provide [the] records [...] pursuant to the Open Records Act'. The lawsuit was probably the first of its kind nationwide, Robert Vargas, a sociology professor at the University of Chicago, told the Guardian last year. Although the case centered on the Atlanta police foundation, observers said last year they were closely watching to see if its outcome had implications for police foundations in general and whether they might be subject to open records laws. Every major US city has a private foundation supporting police, with more than 250 nationwide, according to a 2021 report by research and activist groups Little Sis and Color of Change. The foundations have been used to pay for surveillance technologies in cities like Baltimore and Los Angeles without being subject to public scrutiny, according to the report. Vargas said the ruling, and the records provided, 'sets a precedent'. But he added that the results are a 'mixed bag', since Barwick did not offer an opinion about whether all the APF's records should be available to the public, or whether police foundations in general should be considered public agencies. 'The ruling doesn't come down hard on the bigger issue,' Vargas noted. This means police foundations could continue to assert they have a right to withhold records and invite further litigation. The 287-page document the APF sent to plaintiffs on 1 July offers insight into how the foundation actively lobbied Atlanta city council members to squash activist efforts to put Cop City's construction to a citywide vote in a referendum, among other issues. In a 17 September 2023 email, Rob Baskin, an APF spokesperson, said the foundation would speak to 'the mayor's key folks' and members of the city council about how allowing a referendum on Cop City to go before Atlanta voters 'would, at best, delay and could derail the project's financing', according to a document he attached. Letting the city's residents decide on the project would 'almost certainly [result] in the loss of credibility of City Council and its members', the document warns. Activists behind the referendum 'seek to override their elected representatives who conceived, debated and twice overwhelmingly approved the project in fully transparent public forums', the document says. The foundation omits that the city council meetings he refers to, in which the training center's funding was approved, included record-breaking numbers of Atlanta residents attending and dozens of hours of public testimony against the project. When the city council approved the training center funding anyway, the referendum effort was born. Cop City Vote organizers then spent months gathering 116,000 signatures in late 2023 in order to reach a required threshold of about half that number of verified, registered voters. A coalition of voting rights and pro-democracy law firms across the US drew up an ordinance to codify how the city could verify and count voter signatures on petitions to place questions on ballots in general, and offered it to Atlanta city council. This was needed because the Cop City referendum was the first such local democracy effort in the capital of Georgia's 176-year history – and no such process existed. But in the end, the city council scuttled the ordinance behind closed doors, as the Guardian reported at the time; the referendum never took place, mired in legal disputes. 'If we had known, and gotten these documents when we asked, there was a potential for immediate impact on public opinion,' Scott said, referring to the foundation's role in squashing the referendum. Also revealed in the document: the foundation posted 40 officers and installed eight cameras at the training center's 171-acre (70-hectare) footprint in a forest south-east of Atlanta in late 2023, to protect it from any vandalism by activists. Opposition to the $109-million center has come from a wide range of local and national organizations and protesters, and is centered on concerns such as unchecked police militarization and clearing forests in an era of climate crisis. Atlanta police, and the foundation, say the center is needed for 'world-class' training and to attract new officers. The last eight pages of the document include redacted emails, which appears to violate the judge's order to leave all records un-redacted. Plaintiffs plan to file a motion to obtain those records. After receiving the document several weeks ago, ACPC has not waited to test the ruling, and filed an open records request last week for minutes from the foundation's board meetings going back to 2005, Scott said. He has yet to receive a reply. 'We're going to keep going for transparency,' he said.
