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".

ideas which cannot be done within the limited framework of classroom thinking.Innovative ideas expressed by students shall be given special grades.Each topic in syllabus can be thrown as a challenge for all including teachers experts in the field to bring up innovative ideas for teaching the topic in the most fruitful manner.The best ideas will be adopted and followed.

Sir our education system teach a lot of theories with little focus on application ie its utility in daily life.Even question both in exams are asked based on your ability to learn by rote learning.This can be changed by bringing emphasis on application part through more illustrative examples,animations,challenges for students to bring possible remedies for a problem etc..Discussion forum can be launched with the help of experts in the field whereby students shall bring forth their doubts as well

The science and computer labs of 58 UG colleges of NE India have been upgraded with equipment under DST funded NER-FIST project. Similar programme had also been carried out through out india including J&K. Now, if we can provide proper training to the students, it may help in the above programme. Moreover, we may utilize the manpower of the various scientific labs situated in the respective states to achieve the objectives.

The Hon'ble Government of India should inject at the grassroot level.Students in rural areas need to be inspired through posters,documentaries,interviews,etc.For the Urban students having access to the internet,they should be made aware through social networking sites,uploading videos on YouTube(a Google channel)and making it popular with the help of the Google team.It should be a CHAIN REACTION with maximum output.Practical application is way more important than the theoretical aspect.

It is a very a good idea.But the first thing the government should do is to develop the infrastructure of the schools. Most of the schools mostly in westbengal have no environment to do work to avishkar any thing new.

1. Students should be taken to nearby science, maths musiem/exhibition/Seminars 2. Biology students should be taken to Zoo/Park 3. I see there is no chance to rural/urban government school doing this. 4. Should me made mandatory by allocating fund 5. This ignites young mind to attach in a subject urge them to explore !!

There should be inter-school competition on MODEL UNITED INDIA. Where Students from each school shall be selected based on its unique idea of how he wants to see his city/country. If he starts dreaming about his vision & starts planing steps required for it, I guess this will be his first step towards AVISHKAR(Invention).Which can lead him to success.Also a group of such students should be nurtured at one of schools where all such innovative minds are put together with good mentors.

In that situvation When we look into education sector, Most of the teachers are working for salaries but not for bulding country by making students shine in their interested areas of education. Out of all teachers almost many teachers teaching students without knowing how to teach. No skill nothing.Dear Modi ji please focus on teaching teachers to teach students in a better way to make them county builders with huge skill at work, responsibility for family, commitment for country todo sacrifise
