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".

Dear Pradhan Manthriji, 1) Classes SIXTH to TENTH must be given utmost importance. Focus should be more on interactive teaching, practicals, group assignments 2) In a class room of 30 - 40 students, the child should develop courage to stand up and clear his doubts rather than idly staring at the board or teacher. Teachers should encourage the children to question and question and further question them in the classroom. 3) Classes SIXTH to TENTH should have access to a good physics, ch

To achieve this first we should start attracting and convincing good professional towards teaching field. Teaching must be first choice for any professional. Apart from this government should start at least modern school with all research facilitates in every district. One more thing recruitment of teaching and non teaching staff must be done through strict and smart process. Thanking you.

Encourage Ham Radio in schools. Make the Ham Radio licensing process quick and simple. The awareness of this field is pretty low among Indians. It would help the student to take much interest in science. Students would themselves get motivated to study science further.

what i suggest you sir is very crucial, first of all we should look into our roots, that we often use to ignore,do you know that Einstein himself registered 16 patents, which were purely explored by our saints, in earlier mythological stories, all we need is to teach our students to see what our ancestor have find and most of the countries are reading our mythological books and stories and exploring,so we must manifest these things either in our students mind or put in syllabus..must consider...

The guy in my picture is an excellent teacher, he is a character from a Hollywood series called the Breaking Bad. The way of teaching should be like that! Ignore the rest of the story.

have studied in Indian government schools in 90's and in private institutes and engineering in India and when I went abroad to study my masters and PhD I realised how downtrodden our teaching is. Not by content, not by subject but by the way of teaching that has made the society so weak that they fail to realise what's good and what's bad. I mean an educated man will never throw stuff on road still he does, it's not that no one told him not to, when he was in school but he still does. Why?

Need to first analyse government teachers capabilities who on ground level analyse, approve and motivate for avishkaar.I think as per current level our teachers have not such capabilities due to lapses in appointment of them.First to improve qualities in them to launch such kind of projects.Banjar bhoomi par Baag lagane ka kya phayda, usne to sukhana hai.Another suggestion to please stop reservation system for such kind of projects where a general category student avishkaar rejected due to this.
