INSPIRE Awards - MANAK scheme

MANAK stands for Million Minds Augmenting National Aspiration and Knowledge.
The INSPIRE Awards - MANAK scheme is aligned with the ‘Start-up India’ initiative launched by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India.
The scheme aims to motivate students in the age group of 10-15 years and studying in classes 6 to 10 to become future innovators and critical thinkers.
It believes that once the original ideas and innovations rooted in Science and Technology by students get incubated, it will foster a culture of creativity and innovative thinking among school children.
This will help address the societal needs through science and technology and nurture them to become sensitive and responsible citizens and innovation leaders of tomorrow.

INSPIRE Scheme

Innovation in Science Pursuit for Inspired Research (INSPIRE) is sponsored and managed by the Ministry of Science & Technology.
The basic objective of INSPIRE is to attract young talents to the study of science and build the required critical human resource pool for strengthening the R & D base.
The programme does not conduct any competitive exams for the identification of talent at any level.
It relies on the existing educational structure for the identification of talent.
The programme has three components:
1. Scheme for Early Attraction of Talent- (SEATS)
2. Scholarship for Higher Education- (SHE)
3. Assured Opportunity for Research Careers - (AORC)
