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".

This abhiyan will serve as a leading practical based platform at the national level sponsored by union govt. Govt should also emphasize on the govt school conditions because those children aren't having the basic practical related apparatus and right guidance giving mentor so how can they invent scientific concepts? But at this time i am looking as a optimistic person b'coz no project can become perfect, every project has its drawbacks but thing which matters is that how big is the drawback !

We must promote agro based issues as per local need.Areas may be divided on the basis of type of soil,climatic conditions.Then research centres be developed to work out the problems and improve involvement of real farmers working in the fields.Pl.keep away political pressures.

I think the very 1st thing need to b taken into consideration is improve the quality gov schools /colleges across the country specially in rural areas n also the quality of teachers n 2nd thing is that just promote own way of learning ,understanding the concept not just MUGGING UP. N I thing all this activities will lead to AVISHKAR along with +ve competition spirit among the students .

SIMPLE enough, Make it mandatory for every collages and School an R'n'D Department, Lab and Classes. In this R'n'D classes, Students should have provided basic equipment and let them create an innovative thing. Students can be rewarded based on their creations and introduce to everyone if there is really good creation. it will motivate Students to involved in RnD and study as well. Departments can be categorized based on subjects, Computers, physics, Chemistry, Electronics & Mechanical etc #MHRD

I already suggested a plan of ALL INDIA INNOVATION DAY COMPETITION for motivating young engineers to present their innovative projects in front of the whole country. This can also include senior innovators as supervisors or guides to the students participating. Lets say, Mr.X (Innovator) will be guiding the students in the competition participating from engineering colleges in UP, Mr.Y will help students from MP,and so on.Live telecast the finals of the competition.It will be a great initiative.

We have many IITS and NITS,each year thousands of brilliant students pass out from them.As part of their curriculum they do dissertation works,many of which are done just to partially full fill the requirement for degree.How ever their efforts go in vain,if curriculum can be designed to meet the technical needs of our country like increasing electricity production,low cost infrastructure development, which is highly required for our country. Our researchers have the potential,Yes we can do it

Having worked in the UK, I feel the strength that Indian education provides is a good knowledge of basic scientific principles. The weakness is the inability to implement them or have hi-end skills. We need to be able to retain our wide view of science while training people on industrial skills. Sandwich placements, industrial courses, etc. would be an avenue that we need to look into.
