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".

We have to raise awareness & curiosity amongst people especially those who have not undergone formal schooling. One way to do this would be to create "Vigyan Raths" which will be mobile science museums which can cover the length & breadth of the country (similar to what political parties do during elections) :-) ... The "vigyan raths" could have exhibits similar to science museums & also do video shows in local languages to teach people about scientific phenomena which impact their daily lives.

Sir, as simple as such the very first thing we can do to fire up this initiative is by developing a mobile application which includes registration of interested schools and enrollment of their students and let the students interact with the application thru online quizes and other creative programs and generate a score which shall be added as an extra score for the admission into professional courses after their schooling. This will develop interest and competition among the best students

I want to add this on my last'curiosity post'.Students need two platforms 1. A web portal where students learn with tutorials in a interactive way also in their own regional language.2. A national school meet , open to all students without concerning it's grads.It'll enhance the skills of student also play a role of moral booster.Role of bodies like IGTR-msme in schools can be increased.

I know a person who is some 60 years old. When that person was in 6th or 7th standard he was learning how to use transistor diode etc which most of the engineering students even after completing the btech dont know. And that person told me when these things were taught to them in school level that became a hobby kind of thing for them, they used to play with these circuits and all. I feel that same thing should happen. Children should be taught these things from school only,so it becomes hobby

The students who got very good marks in 12th will generally go for either engineering or doctor. I would like to tell you about engineering. The most talented students are taking admission into engineering and after completing engineering they are doing jobs which do not have any creative work to do just a typing job in front of computer. Why we need engineer for that? In these we are not utilising our students in a proper way.

In case of Maths-Curiosity is generated when we know where we will be led into by what we are doing currently! Students mug up formula and solve problems..Most of them don't know why they're doing it and where those things will be applied in real life! Maths has a remarkable role to play in advent of algorithms in Computer Sci as well as other Engg studies! From the beginning puzzles, Quantitative Ability and creative pattern of numbers should be introduced to cultivate interest in maths!#MyGov

what i feel is our education system should be changed. We people lake in field of innovations that is because our study is more theory oriented,it should be more on practical basis. Like after studying 4 years of engineering in electronics people are doing job in IT sector and for which they do not need any engineering background at all.So that kind of courses should be offered from school level itself.
