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".

Sir,
The focus should be on innovation in health and health care needs. How can every child be immunized apart from mission Indradhanush what else can increase the utilization of immunization services? How can private sector be involved in Rastriya Avishkar Abiyan.

2. One should go digital with all govt schools connected via online link. Pvt players and Open Source solutions exist for them even in rural areas. I can give more details if necessary.
One should set up a two way link to ensure that cameras in these schools monitor what happens to the equipment and the programs in general to make the school staff accountable.

Reach is a very important Issue. It is not possible for a small number of IITs/NITs to reach a large audience. Two solutions

1. Undergraduate students in premiere institutes have to gain industry experience and thus cannot effecitively "Mentor" in internships. However the Graduate students like M.Tech and PhDs should be given incentives to do short internships of mentorships which adds to their skillset and looks good in their resume as well.

So it is highly recommen

The infrastructure, capability and other resources created in Computer Centers of the Universities has remained untapped due to ever-changing policies of UGC. These units may be assigned to tie-up with neighboring schools for training, mentoring and coordinating with other units in the university, local government and entrepreneurs or industry. Direct transaction among Computer Centre, school, industry and Ministry. Targets may be assigned after initial agreements. Schools may change in turn.

Dear Modiji, You are the only Prime Minister who has given equal emphasis and priority to Laboratory (Research) and Lavatory (Hygiene) for the benefit of common man. Rashtriya Avishkar Abhiyan is an initiative in the right direction to tap the potential of young ignited minds of our Country. What India requires is not only imparting knowledge but also fine tuning that knowledge into 'Wisdom'. Kudos to you and to your Govt. for initiating such programmes to get a Brighter India.

Good initiative and will help students to build the foundation for digital and innovative India. Along with this, at their early stage of education, students should be made aware of the various opportunities that will be open when they complete their education. A detailed vision on the various opportunities and the guidance for the course to be taken up will help in diversifying the skill set and contribute in different fields.

There is an urgent need to integrate industry with academics.In this, students will get the experience of specialists from the industry and students can think, study and try to find solutions to the problems in the industry through their research.I have tried this in Insurance education and has found it works well. Infact some of the students I interacted have joined industry and they continue this. Unfortunately there are no incentives for industry academic integration in service industry.
