Rashtriya Avishkar Abhiyaan (RAA) programme of the HRD Ministry that aims to inculcate a spirit of inquiry, creativity and love for science and mathematics in school children, scientists at Pune-based Indian Institute of Science, Education and Research (IISER) have already prepared a roadmap for the next three months to for the schools to follow. The Maharashtra government issued an official notification few days back about the central programme stating that of the 100 odd schools chosen in the country, 12 would be from Maharashtra. These schools would be mentored by the scientists of IISER and Nagpur’s Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology. A mixed batch of 5-6 scientists and final year students would be carrying out the project from IISER, which envisages to take science beyond classrooms and encourage students to come up with their own innovations.
