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".

1. Eduction starts from home. So we must educate parents of the kids, not to neglet the questions thrown by the kids. If the parents don't know the answer they must atleast explore themself first and then answer the kids. 2. Instead of just theory lessons, kids should be allowed to practically do the things that they have learnt in their academics. Espcially govt schools and colleges are bad in lab infrastructure, that needs improvement.#RashtriyaAvishkarAbhiyan #MyGov #MHRD

It's very important that our learning has to be intuition based. So far, we learn maths and sciences (specifically, physics) as separate subjects even though both are interrelated. The ancient philosophers and scientists adopted this approach. The best example is Aristotle. He was a Greek philosopher and scientist. As long as we don't know why we learn all theorems and equations in maths, it won't make much sense (as we don't know where to apply in practical sense).

It is good to look at Schools, IITs, boys & girls for innovative ideas & inventive works. There is one great missing link in our system, which if taken care of could yield amazing results. All retiring Engineers, Scientists, Educationists etc. are left to wait for end after retirement. In fact by the time they reach stage of retirement they are the only ones who really know where & what is missing in the system & needed to be devised simply enough & that is the invention most needed around.

We got to ask ourselves, does a child sitting in panchayat school at Akbarpur (UP) has the access to same knowledge material/content on science (or any subject) as compared to a child studying in a private school at Pune ? if not, we got to use Digital technologies to bring them at par with other students then only we can inspire the kid in the rural area to take up science big time.. once they start seeing those experiments digitally they would be more engaged and motivated to take up science.

मोदी जी नमस्कार मेरा एक आईडिया है की आप भारत की जनता से अपील करे की किसी के भी घर मे किसी की मत्यु होतीं है तो जितना हो सके वो अपना मरत शरीर का अंग दान करे जैसे की आँख किडनी लिवर और भी बहुत कुछ जिससे अंधे आदमी को आँख की रोशनी मिल सके और जरुरत मन्दः को जरुरत का अंग मिल सके जिससे पूरे भारत में भी आदमी रोगी नही रहे वैसे भी मरत शरीर को जलाते या दफना देते है इसके बजाय अंग दान से जरुरत मंद को जरुरत का अंग मिल सके धन्यवाद

First to thanks our P.M. who is much more curious to do something better for our Nation. I think our country's measure population is belongs middle & bellow middle class, simultaneously, no. of average category student is large & they have neither financial support avail by family nor Govt. Govt support only topper student's which is very little. A large possibility left in dark. So, i think we should make our education cheaper & simple to entrance.Alongwith increase practical activity frm1

We must develop interest of students to study "pure sciences" in comparison to "Management" studies during graduation and post graduation to develop aptitude of scientific temper and inventions. Students oftenly jump to management courses like MBA after doing engineering , which ruins the technical approach of student.We need to develop scope after graduation in "R & D" to let our engineers explore new areas of technologies.

Dear Sir, Please form a committee to review caste based reservation system in India, due to which many deserving candidates do not get desired seats in the desired field and they opt for going abroad! Due to this our cream is getting drained from India. India is suffering very heavily due to this appeasement policy. Please Sir, I have hopes with you! Please reform our education system to make things better for innovation and "Avishkar"! Thank you
