Summary: Under representation of women and other minority groups has been a serious concern in many research fields -both in India and abroad. A long-term commitment is needed to both understand and to address this lack of diversity. This year, the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) is going past 50. It is a momentous occasion in the history of the Institute and a proud moment for all of us to be a part of this incredible journey. Among many accomplishments, gender diversity has been an important part of the Institute's legacy. Over the years, IIA has maintained a healthy gender balance and produced a large number of women scientists in the country. Many of them have gone on to make exemplary careers as astronomers, scientists, technologists and educators. The achievements of and discoveries from IIA in the past fifty years span a wide variety of topics in observational and theoretical Astrophysics. Women scientists of IIA have contributed significantly to the growth and overall development of this institution, in terms of challenging research projects, mentoring students and producing a good number of brilliant and motivated astronomers, and also in terms of research publications. https://www.iiap.res.in/IIA50/sites/default/files/Women-Astronomers-IIA.pdf

Under representation of women and other minority groups has been a serious concern in many
research fields -both in India and abroad. A long-term commitment is needed to both understand
and to address this lack of diversity. This year, the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) is going
past 50. It is a momentous occasion in the history of the Institute and a proud moment for all of us
to be a part of this incredible journey. Among many accomplishments, gender diversity has been an
important part of the Institute's legacy. Over the years, IIA has maintained a healthy gender balance
and produced a large number of women scientists in the country. Many of them have gone on to
make exemplary careers as astronomers, scientists, technologists and educators. The achievements of and discoveries from IIA in the past fifty years span a wide variety of topics in observational and theoretical Astrophysics. Women scientists of IIA have contributed significantly to the growth and overall development of this institution, in terms of challenging research projects,
mentoring students and producing a good number of brilliant and motivated astronomers, and also
in terms of research publications.
