The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) launched the Rashtriya Avishkar Abhiyan on 09.07.2015. Late Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam (former President of India) presided over the function. The thrust of the Abhiyan is to provide support and a platform for schools to make Science, Mathematics and Technology exciting for children and encourage them to develop a natural curiosity interest and love towards learning Science and Mathematics, literally to “ignite their minds”.

One of the key highlights of the Abhiyan is the ‘Mentoring’ of schools and children through ‘Mentoring Institutions’ like IITs, NITs, Central Institutions, IISERs and Central State Universities and Colleges. Under the Abhiyan, the MHRD is also collaborating with Google in its ‘Code to Learn’ Contest where school students will be encouraged to develop Code using innovative software. Similarly, the Ministry is partnering with Intel for developing innovative technological capacities in girl students in Government schools.

In the first three years of the Abhiyan, it is expected that 25% of all Government schools will be covered by the ‘Mentoring Institutions’ through various activities and innovative strategies in partnership with the Department of Higher Education.

The Ministry invites ideas and suggestions from people on how the Abhiyan may creatively involve individuals to join the movement and to work directly work with school and school children to "ignite their minds".

the big international universities like oxford and mit implement the projects developed by their students in real life but in our country where there are a huge numbers of well facilitated colleges like IITs and NITs have many projects developed ever year by students but a very very few of them are implemented for real life use.So i want our respected PM to encourage these institutes to implement such projects in real life so that it will encourage innovation and also add revenue to our country.

First we should understand the reasons why students are not innovative. The curricula are very complex and demanding. The future options are very limited and entry is based only on marks one gets in the school examd. Who has time to do any thinking other than regular over load of finishing the courses. Neither teachers nor students can have an 'open mind' which is essential for a creative thinking process. Forget about igniting we are dousing the few ignited ones. We have to hit the roots.

The US has 12 spectacular museums -the Smithsonian- in Washington DC. If India can create such spectacular museums along Rajpath, celebrating not just science and math but also Indian science and math eg Sushruta, Charaka, Aryabhatta, Bhaskara, Ramanujan, Kerala school of math, and throw it wide opem to public, ourchildren will develop both pride and interest in these topics

If Govt can create a set of incentives for dedicated science channels such as Discovery, and also for educational startups eg no tax payment for the first 24 months, private sector creativity can be leveraged to the fullest to create excitement towards math and science

If some form of tax incentives are given to TV channels to produce science quizzes and programs on science they may start making science more available to students instead of entertainment alone

All children are supposed to do science projects in 11th and 12th grade. However, these are often theoretical and of poor quality. Launching a national projects championship with the winners getting direct admission into IITs or scholarships will galvanise the student community into action. Further, if such projects can be done in corporate labs by treating them as part of compulsory apprenticeship by companies, facilities can also be provided to students
