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".

one can't be just innovative by reading his books so just encourage other best magzines and other things and spread it in local language, like give a boost to magzines like "VIGYAN PRAGATI, & AAVISHKAR". you gov have make a rule that no b.tech or mbbs student can sit in PGT exam.what's this? most iitians,doctors have been taught by engineers & doctors, then why no one thinks about it and u ALL JUST WANT INNOVATION. it can't happen if our surrounding is not good.support and subsidies those magzi

I think before going through this initiative u must go fr betterment of all government schools nd institutions. And regarding this initiative we can improve mentality of students by telling them about carrier opportunity in field of science and also need to develop more IIS in the country so that students can go through science and make india better. Except NIT and IIT need to develop more IIS.

Whoever is doing anything good must be awarded to promote new inventions. Apart from this researchers must be paid for their new researches published in good international journals.This will help us to promote research as a career in India which may solve the problem of unemployment in our country and new inventions will take place. But in all this marks must not be a barrier because creative minds have no limits and not confined to numbers in mark-sheets.

How it would be, if every farmer plant at least one tree in his field. It will be beneficial in more than one way. It will not only cater the need of green India but also help in reducing environmental degradation and provide money to farmer as it will not harm farming at all. The slogan should be " One farm land one tree." Nandan Kumar Delhi.

The Rashtriya Avishkar Abhiyan seems like a great initiative. However I want to emphasize on one thing..India is home to millions of manuscripts containing a lot of scientific information regarding metallurgy, astronomy, astrology, etc. We even have epics like Ramayana & Mahabharata in our country. However there is no institute to research on these things to find out their viability. I would request an institute should be planned which is dedicated solely to research such manuscripts. Thank You.
