Rashtriya Avishkar Abhiyan (RAA):-
Proposed Norm:-
Programmatic Norms:-
To promote Science and Maths learning at upper primary to Senior Secondary
(for classes VI to XII) as per the guidelines of RAA in order to inculcate the
following:
● Mathematics and computational thinking will be given increased
emphasis throughout the school years, starting with the foundational
stage, through a variety of innovative methods, including the regular use
of puzzles and games that make mathematical thinking more enjoyable
and engaging.
● To promote Science and Maths learning at upper primary to Senior
Secondary (for classes VI to XII) as per the guidelines of RAA in order to
inculcate the following: Scientific temper and evidence-based thinking;
creativity and innovativeness (NEP para 4.23)
● Capacity building of maths teachers for promoting the study of joyful
mathematics related to real-life experiences and mathematical thinking
involving artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science, etc.
(NEP Para 4.25).
● Mentoring will be done by higher educational institutions.
Financial Norms:-
Depends upon the school specific proposal which could include:
● Science and Maths kits upto @ ₹ 10,000 per kit (50 % of this provision
may be for school/teacher level activities).
● Topic-centered and Project-based Clubs and Circles including Science
Circles and Math Circles having a total children of more than 25 upto @₹ 5000 per circle.
● Exposure visits Up to @ ₹ 500 per student or as per action plan submitted
by the State/UT in the PAB.
● Mentoring by Eminent Experts @ Up to ₹ 10,000 (Upto ₹ 5,000 for
National & Up to ₹ 10,000 for International Experts).
Suggestive Action Items:-
1. Planned visits to Science Museums and Innovation hubs under mentorship of Higher
Education Institutions/ UG or PG Students of Engineering or Science / Mathematics students
could be organised.
2. Science fairs and Mathematics Melas could be organised in the school where students can
display their experiments/innovations/models.
3. Science and Mathematics clubs/circles could be established in the school and should be
provided with kits to understand the concepts better.
4. School libraries could be enriched with books for teachers and students to sustain interest
in Science, Mathematics and Technology.
5. Students could be encouraged to develop a research project in teams or individually that
could be sponsored by the school.
6. Seminars/webinar or workshop could be organised with National or International Experts in
the field of Mathematics and Science
7. Students could be encouraged to write Science communication articles in local media based
on self- observation, experience and analysis.
8. Community-Scientist interactions could be held at certain intervals using TV, Radio and
other technologies to sensitise parents and society on Science and Mathematics education.
The above-mentioned activities are only suggestive in nature, schools can design/ plan activities
based on context or specific needs of the states.
Standards.:-
i. Competencies/Learning Outcomes are used as check points to assess learning; RashtriyaAvishkar Abhiyan is integrated for making learning of Science and Mathematics a joyful and
meaningful activity.
ii. Competencies/Learning outcomes are used to assess progress in conceptual clarity and
application of knowledge to real-life situations, rather than on information in textbook
chapters and topics.
iii. Students have developed science and mathematics projects with a focus on learning through real life situations.
iv. School has active science and mathematics clubs/circles from Preparatory to Secondarylevels
v. Laboratories are available to support learning activities in the areas of Science, Maths, etc
vi. School regularly participates in district/state/national level activities/Hackathons, etc. related to science and mathematics.
