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".

Part 6 / 9 : Teachers’ Training “Let’s make use of Technology” True, building a new training institute may take time....so….. For time being, let’s make use of IT /Digital India / Technology/ Apps etc. Let’s make standard modules for training the teachers & beam it through Doordarshan / Mobile Apps / Govt Portals at fixed time etc. for transmission all over India, to all our schools, through TV/Internet / Mobile, as the case may be.

Respected sir, please focus on the improvement on the quality of both teacher and teaching.a spirited teacher like paramhans can create so many vivekanandas.teaching is now reduced to just a job, teachers in India failed to teach a child how to realize it's potential and how to convert it's imagination in to creativity...... this is why I faced in my times and I still feel it's importance in my life. Spirited teacher makes learning interesting and make boost innovation in IGNITED MINDS.JAI HIND

Part 8 /9 : Teachers’ Training Imparting “through EDUCATION CHANNEL" As an immediate measure, (till Training Institute is realised) may be, we can fix a time slot every day, on each subject through which, Teachers all over, in particular Teachers of our Rural Villages, can be trained on issues such as “how to generate interest’, “how to make Maths / Science Interesting” for our students etc..

सर, भारत में कपडा उद्योग एक अनुमान के अनुसार 11 करोड़ लोगों का पेट भरता है जो की कृषि के बाद सर्वाधिक है। पर अभी हालात बहुत ख़राब है। आपसे ये उम्मीद है कि बनारसी साड़ी की तरह रेडीमेड गारमेंट्स के लिए भी देश में 10-12 टेक्सटाइल पार्क बनाइये ताकि मद्यम् वर्ग की आय का मुख्य् साधन कपड़ा उद्योग फिर से विकसित हो सके

Japanese Art of Paper Folding, Origami is a very fun way to encourage both kids and adults alike in the world of Mathematics. I'm an alumnus of Tisch School of Arts and BITS-Pilani and have always strived to bridge the boundaries between Art & Science. I found Origami is an easy way to teach mathematics visually! I made similar attempts using Pop-Up cards to inspire curiosity towards Science. https://goo.gl/xOyvsm #origami #pop-up #science #art
