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".

We need to bring good teachers to make students better. Eligibility criteria for teachers is very conservative. For instance, , I came to know that a person having MSc in Biochemistry is eligible only for PGT Chemistry but not Biology. After studying subjects like Cell Biology, Enzymology, Metabolism, Genetics, Immunology, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, Biochemical Toxicology, etc at Post Graduate Level, one is not eligible to teach Biology at Secondary School Level in Govt Schools.

MNCs establish make-in-India is great.but not even fraction of jobs needed can be fulfilled by them.Also,domestic problems can be solved innovatively by products made by people living in local ecosystem.But people have to be empowered to make.So import duty on 3D printers should be removed. This future of manufacturing tech can be used to design and make things locally by a 4th pass...with just access to a computer & electricity. Today, all taxes inflate to 160% of its actual cost outside India

sir there is millions of brilliant mind living in India. I think government should have to launch this program for every Indian (not only for children) who have idea to invent something which is really useful for India and rest of the world. Government should have to work on a project which is specially designed for new invention. so that anyone can upload his invention online or show demo to expert scientists. if it is really useful than govt. should have fund and apply invention in real ground

Learning of Maths and Science are such subjects which give feeling of phobia in student community, the best practice is to introduce practicals based learning approach only. No theory classes will work even person from IIT or IISc take part in the form of teaching/mentoring. Unless students being told how things works, develop their own views, things will not be changed. by adopting so practice, scientist will give excuse on poor infrastructure, lack of basic amenities, social status etc etc.

sir/madam, These days coaching centers even below metric level are guiding and educating students which limits the thought process of a student within acedemic countour. Step taken for mentoring schools by premiur colleges is applausable. My only suggestion is that students of these schools should be accesseble to lab and tech festival of these colleges and a volunteer group of enginnering students should involve with diciples to encourge them for science and tech.

There should be social reform is required in national structure. therefore, reseach of social issues are also important for equall opportunity and development of all the essential and necessited people of our nation.

My Suggestions : It is very tough task to mentor all the students in India. This is also not good if gov is focusing only big schools. Gov should launched a number of quiz on its website (Maths , Analytics) in which students can participates.Message should be convey to different schools.quiz Solution should be based on ideas/innovations. Based on the innovation,ideas a group of students should be formed which must be mentor by IT companies,IIT ,NIT for further innovations.
