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, India is poor country ,most of the innovations are driven by cost.However india has great potential if we provide equal opportunities to youth . Developed country companies are promoting their employees for innovation and filing IPR and they are earning good revenue by licensing these IPRs . Developed countries encouraging to file IPRs for even very small innovation however in our country even the highly skilled /qualified/innovators don't know the process.

I hereby suggest to remove slum areas, cleanliness will improve hygiene of people, cleanliness will improve overall health of society. Technology has improved lot.In China Or even in our country, it is possible to built 15 to 20 storied buildings in 10/15 days.Recently ,One Indian company has built 8 storied building in Chandigarh. Why government is not using such technology to remove slums.The biggest advantage of this,is something will be visible to ppl.This will carry good msg.

Sir, In order to ignite our young minds, the government need portray our brilliant scientists/engineers/doctors as superstars just like how these young fellows consider Bollywood and Cricket Stars.We should tell our young minds what great things these people have done and have been doing and how fascinating that work is. And the level of teaching has to be drastically improved especially in Class IX and XII.It is poor even in some of the more reputed schools.

I want to say that India will be a developed country only when the mindset or the level of thinking of the student will be as a researcher not as to print(earn)a lots of money after studying,many students are going in other countries like AMERICA for this purpose because they compare knowledge to money,so to return the sense of Nationalism, it is important to improve the environment of school and government should take responsibility to give each school a good teacher,it's a serious matter..

Organise summer camps for underprivileged and rural govt school students that are held by scientific research bodies, pvt firms, universities, etc. Also facilitate exposure & study tours for such students to scientific institutions, state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities. Open up district level science museums that are activity-based, interactive & motivating for young minds.

So much being done for innovation..commendable. Need to ponder on the education system. 1. Discontinue the system of private and govt school at least up to class 8th. Have just one school. 2. Realigning the education to job.

I propose to have a YOUNG TECHINCAL INDIA Program, where all engineering colleges across India will participate to develop new technology and innovations that will benefit our Nation. We already know ROBOCON by Durdarshan (http://www.roboconindia.com/) which uses technical abilities of young engineers and their mentors to develop robots to compete given task. Why not to have similar program to develop some prototype which will be have topic like Solar energy,Energy conservation,smart city, etc
