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".

Right from the primary level, projects should be given to students which will help them gain practical knowledge.Bookish knowledge is of no use if it can't be applied.Practicality is very important to emerge as a successful student.The exam system should change.Students should be given tasks and should be asked to conduct surveys and experiments to get the results.Present time problems should be given to them,they should be asked to give ideas to solve all these by using the knowledge they gain.

Dear Sir, Imho, people can excel only when they they themselves yearn to excel. While excellence can take its inspiration from several factors , one of the chief reasons is competition. If an environment of competition in science projects driving inventions and innovations, but more importantly inventions solving challenging problems by schools can be created and facilitated with incentives, if and only if certain parameters and targets are achieved,then some brilliant minds may outdo themselves

Aptitude of creativity and invention is developed in childhood stage by seeing the environment of science around him/her.Start mandatory programmes at school level to develop interest at early stage. Increase level of interaction between student and highly appreciated entrepreneurs to give a vision to students in direction of fundamental science. Such type of promotion should be included in course/syllabus of students at all stages of education.

Anything we study has 3 aspects: Concept (what is being studied,what part), Context (the space in which what we are studying is relevant, where part) and Application (what is this useful for, how part). Today's education in India is more about rote learning without sharing the 'Context' or the practical 'Application' of those Concepts. Whatever Initiative is being planned please make sure that all these 3 components are included. I can contribute to design of curriculum if allowed to.

Move away from exam-oriented system to a year round marking system based on creative projects and practical applications of a student. Promote teaching as highly respected career rather than as a fall back opportunity so that experts covet these jobs. More government funded research Focus on soft skills and proficiency in English (as it is the primary language for academics worldwide) to enable technically sound scientists to communicate comfortably with their peers in the west.

Expand swachbharat Bharat kind of initiatives, where people play major role, in curbing corruption, entrepreneurship, eliminating hunger, shelter for poor and helping hand to debt stuck farmers. People will listen to you. Make them participate. Announce rewards and recognitions.
