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".

Very nice initiative indeed. For this to happen effectively, the teachers in schools should be relieved of their nonacademic works. Then they will be involved in Abhiyan and do follow up meaningfully. Outside experts will not alone be able to deliver results.

This schema is platform for the students learn more about science.what about Agriculture?, human very basic need is food,how many schools India is teaching,promoting or giving awareness about agriculture.Lot of people trying to do organic farming in their house.But i never seen that schools or govt are educating the students to do it house or in the school.Healthy food is big threat to our kids.Teach Agriculture in school,create awareness of healthy food.Consider Agriculture also a technology!.

Institutions of higher studies, labs under ICAR/CSIR/DRDO and other institutions should be asked to adopt villages for their local problem-solutions, by applying traditional knowledge system and their research. If these public funded research and higher learning institutes are not directed to adopt villages, they will churn out useless english speaking intellectuals with influence of congress-leftist-secularist(anti-hindu) ideas and always waiting for award-wapsi instructions from their masters.

Use mandatory period of training in all enggineering courses and use that time by distributing the projects to each engineering college with set Deadlines. Please dont distinguish between private ,govt,central,state and so on..

The recent efforts to standardise education are welcome. They must focus on three aspects: Comparing students’ performance, uniform content, and minimum standards.I found that the main thing most people were talking about weren’t their life experiences and how creativity might be useful during school, but about why creativity was important after school. People thought that without creativity, the world would be “stagnant”, without change, and even that society wouldn’t be able to “move forward”.

Why is India still a developing country and what is stopping it from being a developed country? This particular question strikes me every time when I read something about India’s education system. I see India’s education system as a stumbling block towards its objectives of achieving inclusive growth.India is going to experience a paradox of nearly 90 million people joining the workforce but most of them will lack requiste skills and the mindset for productive employment.

Reward creativity, original thinking, research and innovation Our education system rarely rewards what deserves highest academic accolades.Deviance is discouraged. Risk taking is mocked. Our testing and marking systems need to be built to recognize original contributions, in form of creativity, problem solving, valuable original research and innovation. If we could do this successfully Indian education system would have changed overnight.
