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".

Conclusion: The solutions provided by me will make sure that there is no extra power for teachers of giving marks to students. This is also a type of corruption which can be handled this way. this will also make sure that quality of the education as students will mainly learn from digital classes from very good teachers. This will also standardise the education system as students will not be dependent on the standard/quality of the school he/she is going to which is a problem for village schools

Solution contd : Every student should get a cheap tablet with wifi for all the school. Everyday there should be quiz tests for the previous day's class. 50% weightage should be given on these daily quiz tests in the final score. The quiz test questions should be selected by computer from the question bank provided to the students. I guess TCS already has a product for this. Similarly the mainly exam should have 50% weightage. Again for the final exam also, computer should set the paper.

Solution : Why we can not use technology to solve the issues we have. Ideally teachers should never set exam question papers. It should be done using computer. Students should be given huge question bank with answers and with explanation for that answer for all subjects/chapters. Students should be provided with prerecorded class for all subjects and chapters which should be available on some education portal. In the classroom teachers should mainly be used for Q&A incase of any query.

Problem contd : Parents send their kids to school teachers for private tuition with the hope that they will give "suggestions" before the exam indirectly forcing their kids to take short cuts. This has become huge business for teachers as well. Because of this teachers does not have any motivation to teach in school. Instead they ask students to come his/her home for the same. What students can learn this way. They spend hours to go and to come from private tutor's house.

Problem : Main problem to achieve our goal is the quality of education in India. In our country student study to score marks and not to learn. Because of this parents are only concerned how their children can score more marks and not that worried how much their kids are really learning. That's why they try to do whatever it takes for their kids to score marks like sending their children to private tuition to the same teachers from their school.

I had my schooling in Kendriya vidyalaya, where i learnt about importance of art and science apart from theoritical books.We drew paintings participated in science fairs, but now we cant see those types of innovations in any private schools. we only see numbers and scores. Please make it mandate for schools to introduce science and arts as additional subjects which shall yeild them marks in a similar way as in higher education we have labs and practicals carrying certain marks for academics.

We must foucs on primary education in the country. instead of pushing children for grades we shall encourage them for innovation and good habits, in japan children have a speacial class every day on house keeping. i.e., children do sweep their classrooms in turns. This is not to demoralise them but to bring in them the concern for cleanliness at root level OF MATURITY. Our Modi ji has launched swach bharat, tell me how many of us are following it whole heartedly without fail or embracement.
