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".

It is a very good mission. Govt. can achieve success by creating awarness among people. Children should be taught practicals in every subject and motive them with persons achieving sucess in different fields. The IAS and other dignitories official should visit atleat ten schools in a month, creating will and determination about the subject they .love. Never underestimate anyone thinking and views. State Govts. should also take inisiative in this mission.

SAARC satellite is an ambitious programme of PM Modi . ISRO and Doordarshan should jointly produce a space based programme (like quiz)for university students of all SAARC countries. Two finalists from each country should be invited to watch the launching of SAARC satellite at Shrihariķota.

Respective sir.... To invent anything or to discover anything, student must be curious and creative and these two qualities can't be generated . Actually every individual have a curious mind in childhood but when time passes and he cant get a supportive society and quality education(importance of observation and analysis) he temporarily lost his curious mind but if again we became able to remove the rust and sooner or later, we surely get a scientist because every scientist is a observer...

Child's mother tongue is the first tool of its expression. English can take second place as we need to be competent in the international platform but primacy needs to be given to the child's mother tongue till its abilities to think and formulated concepts clearly are developed. This may take at least five years of formal schooling. English could be limited to the vocabulary use innately by the child while speaking his mother tongue.

There is a continuous need of availing contests like "Code2learn" in schools. Students should also be given internships by the companies and organisations like ISRO to increase their interest in science, maths, astronomy, coding, design etc. so that by the time they come out of school, they are fully prepared to research, invent new technologies. Now is the time when we need a lots of Boxes, Ramanujans, Abdul Kalams. Let India be known as developer, inventor rather than just being user.

Health Mind in a Healthy Body: It is important to inculcate scientific spirit, as well as capability, in children in their early years. And more so for students who come from underprivileged backgrounds or are studying in rural government schools. One option may be to organise special classes after regular school hours that focus on three subjects: Science, Maths, & English. A full nutritious meal, in addition to the Mid-day meal given now, may also be provided along with some physical activity.

That's what we need! To make this mission successful, all schools should be advised to leave traditional method of teaching and make students actually learn to develop the things with their education. In every school Computer education should include programming languages like JavaScript, HTML, CSS, python etc. So we can also produce a lot of pSteve Jobs, Bio Gates in country. In maths, science & comp. marks should be given on what students discover, create with the help of education
