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".

Dear sir, In my opinion, we should emphasize on teaching basic science physics, chemistry, material science which is lacking and really can initiate AVISHKAR in our country.Technology and science should be segregated. Education institutes including engineering should be reviewed in respect of facilities such as Labs, Library, and faculty. Industries should be linked to universities and has to allocate fund to academic institutes. research should be decentralize to various institutes.

Indian School should have some additional subjects, such as career technology that students can study the subject and focus on that proffesion that they want to be, when they grow up. And I think that teachers and staff of that school should make the perperation more enjoyable that students should feel for studying and they can score good marks if the revision of that test will be enjoyable.

Is there reservation too here for SC/ST/OBC.India is a country where children gets privileged for their ancestor's timidness in standing against odds: (Reservation Policy). That's why better minds are migrating to U.S.A, where there is no casteism or Caste-politics, where only merit prevails. And then our PM visit to these people in USA asking for investments in India. What an irony. Reservation in admission, Fees Subsidies, Reservation in jobs Quota, age relaxation, minimum marks,promotion

On the same line, we should strive to make an enabling environment so that best global brain can be deployed on the key national scientific projects like Kaveri Engine project,Renewable energy research et

Every high school must have a Science & Technology(not IT) basic workshop with full time workshop instructor and DIY project books as Govt. grant/year & references & free access to all students from 5 th to 10 th std. as well Senior citizens of technical aptitudes and skills as volunteers only from the same area. Then there is no need of having any more spending on skill development & you will find dramatic effects in next ten years. Please personally respond: rameshbhides@gmail.com

Sadly the standard of Mathematics teaching and learning have gone down. Both mental and analytical problem solving is be focused right from early age. I think we should start summer time Math Club (using retired professors/Teachers) which is all India competition driven (again use TV broadcast like the dance and song competition shows)to boost participation, watching, learning and reward the students and schools lavishly.
