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".

8) Each and every school should promote more and more participation of students in national science talent search examination, kishor vegyanik program. 9) A science, mathematics and astronomy museum should be made compulsory in each and every school of India along with a district level science and technology fair once in a year. 10) Funds for school laboratories should be increased to make them updated.

4) Biographies and autobiographies of scientists and mathematicians should be part of curriculum and each and every school, public library. 5) Descriptive questions should be abolished to be replaced by hypothesis driven, problem solving project based questions. 6) For each concept of science and mathematics it should be highlighted that how it was utilized in past for a current day application. 7) science and mathematics quiz competitions should be organized in schools starting early age.

Ideas for Rashtriya Avishkar Abhiyan: 1) Science and mathematics books from very early stage should be made more interactive, conceptual and applicative. Examples from everyday life should be added. 2) Application should be prioritized from primary school. Practicals should be part from primary school. 3) Science and mathematics assignments should be in puzzle and applicative problem solving format instead of rote learning based questions.

We have everything to lead the world but our brains are not getting right direction sometimes.some way 1)Make national a think tank and include all the universities and schools in it 2)A right co-ordination among all the universities and right evolution of their research work. cause most of the money granted for research been wasted. 3)Inspirational speeches as well as lecture and interesting science classes through teleconference(Just like Mr. Prime Minister delivered on teacher's day)

Research Methodology & correct way of approaching problems in a scientific manner must be inculcated in children from school stage, only then thoughts leading to inventions will occur, else our youth will keep falling prey to "google-cut, copy paste" syndrome & new thoughts will be few. It is strongly recommended that it be incorporated as a subject in schools and every student must produce an original research paper before passing out of school with strong disincentive against plagiarism.

I think we should connect learning Science and Mathematics to fun. And also they should connect more to things happening around them in real life. I have been watching some programs in "Discovery Science" channel like "Outrageous Acts of Science Physics", "Stuff Happends", "You Think you would Survive". These things can infact be added into the curriculum of students in 5-10 standards. We shoudl also allocate more time for the lab sections and and let teachers demonstrate experiments in class.

Strict Norms of AICTE must be followed in the private engineering college of India so that the manager of these colleges also known as the famous business man’s of India will be stubbed to do there dictatorship. On the occasion of gurupurnima kind appeal to you sir from we faculty members of these private engineering colleges is that to please save our job as well as livelihood. This also helps the future of the nation that is our student to get the quality education.

I was very impressed by this new technology they used in China to construct 10 houses using 3D printed material. If our students can get a head start in this field then we can frog leap the industrialization and use this new tech to develop our country. Pls visit this website and see what all can be achieved...http://www.yingchuangnewmaterial.com/
