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".

In such physical demo classes, demo of how miniature hot air balloon with helium when untied goes up up and away while other balloons dont, shd be shown. How film projections on screen with film strips work. How miniature robotics work. students should be awe struck by such scientific phenomena through physical experience and should be encouraged to perform on his or her own. It should be a much relief from boring rote learning and learning by fun should start.

5) For the above activities to take place during the child's SIXTH to TENTH standard, teachers training models and methods should be given national importance. 6) Team sports should be given importance in schools during SIXTH to TENTH again. They will learn first hand the values of team spirit, unity, hard work, brotherhood, importance of synergy (Credit to Mr. Chetan Bhagat for this point mentioned in "The three mistakes of my life" 7) Shouchalay should be made mandatory in all schools

We as school students used to long for physical education period every week whereby we can play any game to our heart. Similarly apart from normal classes, science learning should be introduced through fun and enjoyment so that students should eagerly wait for that class. This period should not be encroached by other teachers for rote learning to cover backlog portions. In this period, physical demonstrations, self attempt should be ways of pedagogy.

3) Classes SIXTH to TENTH should have access to a good physics, chemistry and biology lab. Practical knowledge should be given priority rather than rote memory and fixed pattern of exams 4) A good teacher can change the lives of a number of his/her students and create a lasting impression in the minds of young children (6th TO 10th). Teachers nurturing students in their formative years must be trained exceptionally well and shud feel the responsibility of gifting good citizens to the society

We must take lessons from countries who are very good in science and mathematics and adapt the best models for use in our country. Lastly, children should be taught well without focus on marks scored. We need to have an education model that allows children to imagine, visualize their subjects, let them experiment with ideas must exist. assessment and progress can always be based on certain metrics instead of marks scored

We need to have the right course material, that suits the needs of times and with an outlook for next 20 years. Children should not be burdened with unnecessary study material. Course material must be chosen with care, only what is needed must be taught. We can have Sunday science clubs for children, where capable subject matter experts will help children learn subjects and develop interests in science and mathematics.

Teachers need to tell children stories of how great minds in science and innovation identified issues and handled those issues towards great discoveries. We need teachers who teach the right things to our children, the right way always. We need several teacher training institutes (centers of excellence) for refresher courses

First thing we need are very good teachers, who will have in depth understanding of the subject, they should be able to teach children with empathy by working with them. They should be able to let children visualize, imagine and dream of the subject topics being taught. Instead of marks, let the children learn the subject well, by visualization, imagination and laboratory experiments

નમસ્તે સર ભારત દેશ નુ ચલણ(નાણુ) દુનિયા ના દેશો કરતા ઘણુ પાછળ છે. દુનિયા મા નંબર વન બનવા માટે જનભાગીદારી જરુરી છે. આ માટે. .... 15 મી ઓગસ્ટ ના દિવસે દરેક દેશવાસીઓ સંકલ્પ કરે કે આજના દિવસ થી જીવનજરૃરી ચીજવસ્તુઓ સ્વદેશી કંપની ની જ ખરીદ કરે.
