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".

Sir, (i) establish 2-3 world class interconnected laboratories in each district to work on 24x7 model with SOPs. Let such labs reach out to Government high schools with transport services to bring students to lab on time sharing basis (12-16 hrs a week). Let private schools also use it for a fee. Let all their results be posted daily on a Server for validation by graduate students, who opt to be mentors online. Ask ISRO, TATA, Reliance, DRDO, CBSE, ICMR, IARI, Ind Railways to design such labs.

Changes in Indian Educational System helps a lot to create Curiosity among Youth towards Science and Math...Changes in the sense, many edu.institutions in India are really not focusing on the interests of the students...they r just teaching whatever is there in text books and they are almost totally ''exam'' focused...But no institute is trying to teach students the ''actual and reality'' in Science...That's the reason why there is a lack of interest in Science and math in Youth in INDIA.I think

As rightly pointed by some of my fellow Indians I believe that education has been reduced to examinations.The interest can be created among them when there is an encouraging atmosphere.Better results can be reaped if the students are taught in a positive atmosphere where Independent thinking is encouraged.Also, please do not start schemes.With due respect to Mr.Devi Prasad, It is a form of discrimination.Why only 500 children? Everyone deserves a chance at a school level.

Rashtriya Avishkar Abhiyan is another cosmetic approach to education sector. EVEN AFTER 14 MONTHS government has not finalised its education policy. there is no uniform syllabus. every state following different syllabus and sowing seeds of disunity among us on basis of caste/religion/region. we are still taught history written by british & leftist historians. foreign invaders who looted/destroyed us are glorified in history. why ancient knowledge heritage from 5000 years back not promoted.

Being M.Tech in Biotechnology,I have felt that the course work of science mostly consist of theoretical knowledge and very less practical knowledge.So if more practicals are involved,then students may get attracted towards this beautiful world of science.In case of mathematics,problems which I faced was teacher her/himself was not thorough with the topic.I think there should be some proper selection criteria for the teachers not only in university level but also at school level.

1.Only practical education can make the system best and benificial 2. Many school still dont have physical education as subject, make it cumpolsary 3. Giving 25 years to the education a student is judge by a 2 pages resume, so judge the students on their experience and talent in a particular field 4. Last but not the least request people that instead of donating crores of money to religious places, make free schools for poor because "padhega india tabhi toh badhega india" #jai hind #MHRD

Our children are born creative. What is lacking is mentors - who can encourage and channelize the spirit. Free thinking almost never encouraged - in education, industry or Government. A way to change this is: 1. Educators to realize that they are only setting up opportunities for all to explore and learn - including themselves. 2. Industry and Government to listen to youth and give them an opportunity to pilot test ideas. No experts, all are students. 3. Encourage the arts, yoga and seva.
