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".

There is nothing wrong with Vedic mathematics and use of traditional methods of asking questions to guru and getting answers for repetition. Repeating develops memory; recitation develops euphony; speaking self-confidence; debating sharpens the skills of relevance in argument. Hence our Schools and College Curriculum needs real revamping with Students-input tempered by Masters Pedagogic outputs. Computers should be carefully integrated in to the System of pursuit for Knowledge and Applications.

First things first. We should not force textbook knowledge on every one. Syllabus should be minimal for any class. If a student spend all his time learning what has been invented, when will he invent something new. Maximum he may improve the existing inventions but he cannot invent anything new. Student should not get a feel that there is nothing to invent, everything is invented already. More stress has to be given on innovation scope rather than invented scope. Again don't force bookish kn

I would like to add that the entire world judge the ability of a person through his IQ provided by Mensa org. But unfortunately in India only a few cities have the facilities to conduct the exam, namely Mumbai and Pune. I suggest that the government allows the Mensa to conduct the exam once per year in all cities of India so that the real potential of the nation are discovered. It can be argued that there are many IITs and other organizations but the fact is brilliance and IQ are different.

राष्ट्रीय अविष्कार अभियान में किसी क्षेत्र के अंदर शोध करने वाले लोगों को आर्थिक सहयोग देने का प्रावधान भी जुड़ना चाहिए। यह सहयोग व्यक्ति के शोध की जरुरत को ध्यान में रखते हुए किया जाना चाहिए। इसके लिए जिला स्तर पर बुद्धिजिवियों की कमेटी बननी चाहिए, जिसे जिलाधिकारी के माध्यम से चुना जाए। इस कमेटी का अध्यक्ष क्षेत्रीय विश्वविद्यालय के कुलपति को बनाया जाना चाहिए।

One of the child of government officer should be made mandatory to study in government school so that the condition of the government school will improve. If the child of IAS study in a government school the officer than he will take care of the school for his child's future which in turn increases the level of education of government school.

1) There are many Eng. collages in India. Students of final semester have to do 6 months of project or internship. Currently they look for those projects only in urban part with some companies. Instead institute should plan visit to near by villages. Let their students note the issues about villagers and develop a solution project for them. Live projects can be granted by enterprises or gvot. 2) More ITI or Delopma schools should be open in ruler areas which offers vocational courses.

Instead of promoting Tatas, Ambanis & other big industries, govt should promote, motivate & felicitate individuals and S.S.Industries. If we search solar gadget, out of 100 not even single site is found from India. Even Govt. website are not providing how to use solar energy for house holds, no technical knowledge. You have to undergo training under colleges. if govt is serious in this sector, provide grass root level support from pin point instead of promoting colleges, universities.
