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".

Online learning initiatives like the Khanacademy, ABCReadingEggs can be replicated in local languages to make learning fun for children in remote areas. Let us use the Wifi access at the 500 railway stations proposed by Google to create online access infrastructure for schools/teachers who may be interested in using these resources

Dear PM Sir just throwing an idea to counter power transmission loss.Can we make a chip/storage card to store power from power plant.n depending upon the need of villages/panchayats/blocks where power supply is difficult,we distribute the chip to that place.This stored power later converted into electrical energy by some device in given place. It will be one of the innovation that can initiate wireless transmission in india and transmission loss will taken care and lots of money can be saved

It is an excellent initiative but the mentors institutes like IITs nits entrance system requires change because in 2013 jee main exam started in which 40% weightage was given to 12th board results but problem is that different board have different difficulty level.It is a request to change it and entrance for NITs must be based purely on the basis of entrance exam (jee main).Many brilliant students who scored excellently well in jee main have to join ordinary college.

It is a superb initiative, This will encourage students to get into Research & Innovation. Children's mind has to be ignited at the very young age, So they aim bigger in life. This should reach the rural schools which have less exposure to trends in science and technology. We need to create curiosity in students to increase their participation - Concept of learn while you play - Encourage them in building working models - Provide necessary infrastructure

आज हमारे देश के युवा काफी सारे छोटे बड़े अविष्कार करते रहते है, न्यूज़ मैं भी हम देखते है और तारीफ भी करते है मगर कोई भी उनको बढ़ावा नही देता न प्राइवेट सेक्टर न गवर्नमेंट और ऐसे ही युवाओ को कोई विदेशी कपनी ले जाती है ।। तो इन युवाओ को प्रोत्साहित करे इनके दिमाग का उपयोग देशहित मैं हो।"राष्ट्रीय संस्थान बने जो सिर्फ ऐसे युवाओ के लिए हो जो ऐसे नए अविष्कार करते हो सस्ते और उपयोगी हो सभी देशवासियों के लिए।। ताज़ा उदाहरण" जयपुर के एक युवा ने 3D प्रिंटर बनाया है स्वदेशी" पेटेंट करवाओ और उससे आगे बढ़ाओ
