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".

This is very good initiative. 1.In all schools we should have open theater, grounds, projectors to show slides, scientific moves like IIT’s have. It spreads knowledge and increases enthusiasm in students. Each school won’t be able to have, but schools can get together have one open theater and ground for them. 2.Some city schools with nearby village can come together and start own events. Village schools can take city schools students to show technology in field of farming. And city schools c

Dear PM,In my view the drawback of our school education system is our students and parents only urge to secure good marks in our pen&paper exam system rather than real learning and knowledge gain in science/maths.If our edu. system will be able to input small effective and interesting science practicals session that reflects book theory, in school education then that can create curiosity among the little minds to think more and more and this practicals should be free from any exams. -Prof.ARP

1)Increase the lab activities,let them learn the hard way. 2)Link education with real world problems. And teach them how learning something may help them in overcoming the real world challenges. 3)Make teaching more interactive and encourage teachers to encourage questioning among students. 4)Exams should not focus on just memorization.

We should tell some interesting stories about evolution of science and universe. Maths should be teached interestingly by asking questions so that students must be solved without using any pen and paper. As an M.tech degree holder I oppose the eduction system of india which will not provide any creative way of teaching and learning. Only runs behind getting job.

Thanks for getting Dr. Kalam involved. We, as a country, can only benefit, from his scientific and detailed inputs. On the suggestions for the Abhiyan - Keep it simple. Please, just implement what Agastya International Foundation does, across the country. Use their services to train the trainers/teachers, and to prepare material that others can use to create trainers. Get *all* state governments sign up to implement their programs. The results will follow -http://www.agastya.org/

Schemes like KVPY ( http://www.kvpy.iisc.ernet.in/main/index.htm ) should be made mandatory by every university based on some percentage of seats available. We should be more focused on promoting research on STEM ( Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics ). Research oriented courses should be promoted , we need to come out from bookish knowledge to practical industry engagement intern based semester courses. I would like to contribute on this given me a chance. Regards Joyjit R G C

Children must be taught by performing,literally, every experiment activity in NCERT books to visually marvel at and acknowledge the beauty of scince. Infrastructure needs to be strong for that. Love for science and technology needs practical exposure not just liability for completing syllabus on teacher's part. Schemes like INSPIRE IGNITE are there but things needs a shake up at early stage,so that students develop naturally curiosity towards understanding n exploring technologies around.

interest of student don't change until they would get proper infrastructure of education system and new creative methodology.Because many institute still working on poor and traditional method of teaching, even those who teach in institute and school are not capable to deliver knowledge.Government should make policy that will help to improve education system. my opinion is that if institute not get proper fund they will not able to transform good knowledge.

Innovation is about doing things better, resolving challenges of the society in a simple and efficient manner - preserving the resources & generating opportunities. India is fortunately blessed with the world's best talent and the #RashtriyaAvishkarAbhiyan would hopefully ignite the talent to achieving national goals. Gravity 2.0 Research Foundation has been providing thought leadership in this area & would be interested in partnering the initiative. More details, www.gravity20.org #MHRD #MyGov
