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".

Namaskar Sir, Avishkar ko janm wahi de sakta hai jiska pet bhara ho par Bharat mein padhai hote hote students par pariwar ka pet bharne ki zimmedari aa jaati hai . Dusra bharat mein zyadatar student sarkaari schools mein padhte hain aur wahan standard bahot hi low hai. Avishkar par to zor hi nahi diya jata . Bharat mein sabhi sarkari schools ko ek sath jodaa jaaye aur inventions ke liye protsahit kiya jaaye, national inami comptetion organise kiya jaye aur graduation k baad bhi library

Dear Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji if i talk about engineering our education is theory based we do not emphasis on practical approach. the pattern of evaluation is fixed every time repeated question one,s get.and most of question is theory based very less numerical problem.the faculty should set paper in such a way that to solve any numerical problem one have to think on problem.In present the faculty does not discuss why particular concept developed or what problem one was facing befor

I think what needs to be done is taking it that "seriously". It shouldn't be just a another do good abhiyan."Ground Work" is important as it will make it practical."Ground work" will makes us realize the challenges and possibilities.Maximum India's youth is in satellite towns and education hubs such as mine place derabassi near Chandigarh.we have so many collages and schools here but no real attention is paid to students there is so much wastage of talent&youth it's all about money it seems.

we should start a subject "experiment" in schools in which student should be given free space to write there view on any topic of science and technology.There should be no syllabus for that. Inovetive ideas and work should be published and teacher should taught them about the scientists & idea behind there invention and in higher eduction experiment based eduction should be given and research should be motivated and scientists from government department should give idea on inovation

The idea should be to provide the more and more practical knowledge besides theory. Schools & Colleges should have well equipped labs and audio visual facilities. Do not allow students to make 'rattafication' of theory but focus them more towards practical knowledge by using audio visual smart classes on projector. Theory and practicals should be 50-50.

This has to happen in all schools and households. We need to bring children out of class rooms and encourage them to question even small things and satisfy them with our answers. This applies to teachers and parents equally. Explain science with practical classes or visuals. So that they will not get bored of theories.

I am aware of some companies that are running initiatives to promote Science & Technology amongst school children. Techies do the presentations in schools on weekend (Saturdays). If Government formalizes this in the form of a countrywide initiative, it may become a movement. Corporates shd be asked to share responsibility. Acknowledging their contribution and effort on a public platform will inspire them to take it as promotion coming out of good karma. #MHRD, #RashtriyaAvishkarAbhiyan, #MyGOv

Respected sir we must organize exhibition on magic of science in schools.Recently a magic show was organized in our school to encourage students to know more about science.It was a great success.Students should also come to know that science is nothing but the systemetic study of natural phenomenon that occurs around us because some people are very afraid of science and they don't study it only..so it should be set in their mind that science is the DNA of development.. Thank you Gul Bansal..
