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".

Hi Mr. PM, Please set norms to all government and private schools in India to have minimum basic facilities such as Computer labs, Science labs, a library etc. There are many schools in India engaged in rote learning - mugging textbooks and passing exams. Students are deprived of practical exposure because of lack of laboratory facilities. I believe that stringent implementation of rules to provide basic requirements of library and laboratory facilities in primary education can go a long way

To teach Mathematics, only way is to encourage children to use currency in daily life from the very beginning.They need to dream, apply, and think , imagine the various concepts in daily life. Teachers and parents need to play major role. Lots of workshops to be conducted to teach concepts in play way method.Only practical will generate interest rather than bookish knowledge. More focus to be paid on quality knowledge than quantity .As to whom we have to prove in the long run? Perfection is mus

I have something more critical to share and suggest on Skill Development, but that area is closed. How can i show or suggest the same? i have a practical model itself to share, this means i need an appointment. i can not share it in public. it is a successful international working model, which operates in India also for last 5 years( in private domain) and i want to show how it can be ramped up for more and more public benefit by bringing it in govt sector. I need an appointment

Until and unless we allow our children to experiment from the very beginning of the growth years. They will not get attracted to both the subjects.Parents need to provide children with creative toys to use them and experiment with them.Labs in the schools need to be used extensively rather then making a decorative pieces.Teachers need to click the pics of the invention and show them later to encourage students.Even small invention will make the difference.

Contd from previous post..... 8. look at the various talents in various companies of industries ..scientists,business strategists, finance & human resource executives, performance and resource development executives. these people can contribute a lot to these schools development, Teachers soft skill development, students soft skill & leadership development and their over all nationalistic views. Also they can contribute to the curriculum development.

Teachers should be well trained and they should take up more responsibility than they are right now. Also, field trips can be conducted for all schools to ISRO and other scientific institutes, so that it will increase the curiosity among the school children to study science.

We should first focus on strengthening the available scientific community in India. Focus on why there is so much of brain drain. One live example that I have is of my Friend who is enrolled under ICMR program and doing his PhD from AIIMS. It's been more than a year he has not received his stipend. Inspite of several requests made at the office concerned, nobody has bothered to pay attention to it. How can somebody with age over 30 and having 5+ publications survive without stipend. #MHRD,#MyGov
