In the midst of our interesting conversation, he asked me one striking question.
Do we have tools or platform for the underprivileged children to showcase their talent?
His question struck me and gave me more responsibility in identifying those tools and platforms for young students.
Thank you very much
Mr. Perumal Swamy sir. I am now on the path to identify those tools.
National Innovation Foundation (NIF) provides one such platform for the students to showcase their talent, creativity and innovation.
National Innovation Foundation (NIF),
India, an autonomous body of the Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of
India, has announced the tenth national competition for students' ideas and
innovations.
In the loving memory of Dr. Kalam, NIF has
organized Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam IGNITE
Awards 2018 to ignite children's ideas and innovations. The submissions
are welcome from the students up to Standard XII in the creative
technological ideas/innovations.
NIF has received up to 1,54,500 submissions
during the various IGNITE campaigns which started in 2008, awarding 201 awards
to 277 students.
The
awards will be announced on October 15, Dr. Kalam's birthday, celebrated by NIF
as the Children's Creativity and Innovation Day.
This annual national competition continues
to harness the original creative and innovative spirit of children full filling
one of main vision of Dr. Kalam.
The
idea of this contest is to utilize the innate creativity of the children to
solve the unsolved social and technical problems and to promote the leadership
quality in them for the incredible future of the country.
Many people believe that creativity is something you are born with and cannot be learned but the truth is, we can acquire it through lateral thinking.
In How to Have Creative Ideas Edward de Bono - the leading authority on creative thinking - outlines 62 different games and exercises, built around random words chosen from a list, to help encourage creativity and lateral thinking.
All the exercises are simple, practical and fun, and can be done by anyone.This book will be a great medium for students.

It brings new thought;
