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".

हमें कक्षा 1 से ही ऐसा पाठ्यक्रम तैयार करना चाहिए जिसमें प्रेटिकल ज्ञान हो। वो पाठ्यक्रम इतना सरल बनाया जाये कि बच्चे के खेल में भी विज्ञान हो। इसके लिए व्याख्याताओं की मंडली तैयार करे जो दैनिक जीवन के विज्ञान को स्तर के हिसाब से अलग कर कक्षा के अनुरूप गठित करे। हमारी यही गलती है कि हम विषय नौकरी के लिए चुनते हैं ज्ञान के लिए नहीं।

Creating the right environment for proliferating the scientific temper is critical. Few initiatives could be : 1. Increase in research budget (at present - 0.9% of GDP), so that more students will prefer doing their masters/doctorates in India than else where with sufficient funding 2. Creating broader platforms for venture capitalists to meet young entrepreneurs with innovations - students struggle to get their ideas funded. 3. Corporates should fund and create more Centres of Excellence

If children can't understand things, they start losing interest in the subject. Now cheaper technology is available. Use technology assisted learning. Creating and popularizing TV programs can help a lot. From personal experience, there used to a be series called "Turning Point" on DD which kept my interest. There are many corporates that wish to work in this area. We need to solicit more assistance from them. Good for them to promote themselves. #MHRD, #RashtriyaAvishkarAbhiyan, #MyGOv

Dear Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, The importance of Science and Mathematics in education is good. However, what is more important is the stress upon critical thinking, reasoning, and innovative thinking. In ancient India these subjects were taught to the students as "Tarak shastra"; however we don't teach students about it anymore. In our modern education system there is too much stress upon rote learning (Ratta in Hindi) rather than critical thinking. Kindly look into it. Regards.

Celebrating mathematics quiz/day and science quiz/day every 3 months at all levels. Awarding the winners by giving them entry for good courses. Have exhibitions planned at town/city level and promote the innovation by small demo/projects/innovation produced/demonstrated by students. Plan one day as Vedic mathematics day and have programs on Vedic mathematics and relating it to modern mathematics and science. This program can only become success when teachers also rewarded if students win

I consider that a change to the Indian education system should be brought. Many students lack the basic fundamentals required for a student to select science as their futuremail subject. Development can only be brought when there is scope and experience. Here by scope and experience I mean the requirement to basic science and fundamental education.

There should be attractive audio-visual short movies that can create interest & curiosity about science & scientific phenomena. These should be available free for download so that everyone can afford it.

Inculcate the habit of 'Problem Finders' than 'Problem Solvers'. Right from the school, children should be encouraged to think and not confine them to the text books or the routine things of forcing them to do something which text book says.
