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 Government, before we express our opinions on RA, Please clarify your status on the follwoing: a. Is the government pro- or anti-research and intellectual discourse? If anti, then it is destroying one of the 3 pillars of civilization-its scholars. b. Is the government planning to promote ONLY a services sector and academia is low priority? Is yes, then it is lacks vision for culture specific innovation. c. What are the indicators of the govt. interest in promoting high quality education?

1. Remove culture of mediocrity by doing away with Mandal reservations and quotas. 2. Provide equal opportunity to all by providing financial support to the needy. 3. Focus on quality of higher education. 4. Turn national institutions in centres of excellence. 5. Merit alone should be the criteria for progress and advancement. 6. Create a University of Hindu Civilization and Culture in Delhi to focus on Sanskrit, Dharma, comparative religions, philosophy and social sciences.

I mean I will not assume that because we are doing volunteer work it has to be science only. I mean I don't mind student educating student about arts,painting , poems, literature, even on nail arts. I mean we don't really need to focus only on science activity when it is volunteer work. but don't make it too huge where anybody can preach and also dont make it too small that we lack of human resources it self. make a clear process areawise.

I think we should use college students like 1st year , 2 nd year one for volunteer work so they have liberty to travel and they also understand science too and their understanding is also developed by that time. And that can be just consider extra activity from the college. So city students can provide help to there near by villages. I mean but for that we should be knowing top rated colleges from where we are grabbing scholars.

as you have mentioned addressing scientist in the space program . I agree with you providing slide show or demo or video and educating children in village is necessary. In fact they are very solid foundation of this program. I think. So i agree with you. I believe you already have vision. May be we need some volunteer work in this area and start building as reality as much we could.People just need to know what country is expecting from them that's the best help we can provide

in particular, the form of executive-branch arrangement is distinct from most other parliamentary and semi-presidential republics that separate the head of state (usually designated as the "president") from the head of government (usually designated as "prime minister", "premier" or "chancellor") and subject the latter to the confidence of parliament and a flexible tenure in office while the head of state lacks either dependency, and investing either office with the majority of executive power.

parliamentary republic government where the executive branch (the government) derives its legitimacy from and is accountable to the legislature (the parliament). There are a number of variations of parliamentary republics. Most have a clear differentiation between the head of government and the head of state; with the head of government holding real power, much like constitutional monarchies. Some have fused the roles of head of state and head of government, much like presidential systems, but
