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".

There is no real policy of faculty hire in Indian Institutions and we all know how these faculties are hired and how much they are productive and how many inventions they have done. The thing is if you are following a policy where Director of the Institute can hire whomsoever he want and having such rule like visit the institute personally to get interviewed from USA or wherever you are, make no sense. My request to the Government is to draft a national faculty hire policy to make fair recruits.

There are so many people from good educational institutions who will be willing to associated with it. What can be done is one teacher can be associated with 2 or 3 working professionals for IITs, NITs etc on a pure volunteer basis. They can together design the framework and the working professional can keep a track of the students performance , thereby of the teacher effective teaching methods also. They can also visit the class and ask questions and offer prizes for activities.

One big underutilized talent pool in India is that of PhDs who hold considerable amount of expertise in high technology fields. They often feel undervalued and underutilized. Govt can recruit PhDs to design education programs / policies. We can also get them to teach complex scientific subjects in easy to understand manner. Finally, we can highlight PhDs in various scientific fields who are doing work in India as role models for school children. They can surely inspire and ignite young minds!

Scientific acumen is developed when a student is groomed in school. But I have realized that there is lack of expertise in school to motivate students to do research. Teacher are not excited about their profession. even the best school and colleges pays very minimal salaries to teachers. school has become the mode of money making. teachers are not motivated to groom their students for better future.
