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 Mr. PM, To ignite curiosity for science and mathematics among today's young generation, we have to tell them the history and real world application of maths and science. to my experience as a student of secondary/higher secondary school, we have been taught to find the solution of mathematical problem and never understood the use/meaning of finding that solution. Hence most of us never felt the joy of solving becoz we did not know what we are doing by solving an integration or derivative

I guess Mathematics needs some serious Revamping in our country. Students do not relate to the subject much and its very essential to rebuild the focus of this subject. Students are unable to feel the subject and cannot relate to the same. I have tried an initiative where I Use games such as Soccer, Cricket, Temple Run, Subway Surfers, Basketball and a lot more. Tv and Print media has Acknowledged this learning Process. You can see the impact on www.dinasimlearning.com

Its high time for a major overhaul for our education system. There should be a common syllabus for all Indian schools, i.e., instead of having many state syllabuses, all the schools should be included under one kind of education system. The others must be abolished. The students must be given a training for coping up with the extreme pressure given by the society for attaining higher education. The repertoire of the young generation should be utilized vastly to make their future safe.

There is need to create passion for topics in science among the students.Hope that bringing short films that not only entertain but also press one's mind to think about deepness and purity in science will give boost to this mission.

Discard marks/grades exam method and bring in systemic evaluation of learning levels. Establish four world-class colleges of pure sciences, more prestigious than IITs and IIMs. Pay the graduates better than than IITans and MBAs Downsize sports and cinema icons and find science icons (What for Sachin and Rekha in RS and why not nominate scientists in their place

भारत के समस्त सज्जन बधुओं को मेरा नमस्कार !! मैं कहना चाहता हुँ की अगर सरकार भारत के सभी बच्चों की शिक्षा उनके माता पिता की जिम्मेदारी ना समझकर अगर खुद की जिम्मेदारी समझे तो यह समस्यां हल हो सकती है . सबको समान शिक्षा दी जाएं और हर तरह के नए उपकरणों का उपयोग करने दिया जाएं | इससे खुद -ब -खुद उनकी रूचि विज्ञान में बढ़ेगी और नए अविष्कार करने की प्रेरणा आएगी | धन्यवाद | #MyGOv

One of the most important steps that can be taken before implemention is to improve the state of Govt schools. There's a belief among parents that for better schooling private schools are the only option. If Govt schools are made attractive enough to gain the confidence of parents by providing them with additional facilities in both academic and non-academic areas, then this yojana will make much more sense. I hope this suggestion would be taken into consideration.
