Department of Science & Technology (DST) with the idea of increasing noble laureates in India has created a innovative programme in Dec 2008 called Innovation in Science Pursuit for Inspired Research (#INSPIRE) for attracting country's young talent and encourage them to study science courses for strengthening &expanding the R&D base in India.
It is a programme with long term foresight.
INSPIRE has three components:
Summary of INSPIRE scheme
i. Scheme for Early Attraction of Talent (SEATS)
a) INSPIRE Award, to 6th to 10th students with Rs. 5,000/- is given to the students, who would utilize about 50% of the amount for making a science project / model and balance 50% towards cost of bringing project / model at District Level Exhibition Centre for display. Two students were selected by the school head. The marks required from 10th is above 471 out of 500.
b) INSPIRE internship at IISc Bangalore, aims at 11th graders in science stream to interact with the scientists & top most faculties to discuss about the Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Earth Sciences.
ii. Scholarship for Higher Education (SHE)
Scholarship for Higher Education (SHE) aims at attracting talented youth into undertaking higher education in science intensive programmes, by providing scholarships and mentoring through 'summer attachment' to performing researchers. This scheme offers 10,000 scholarships every year @ Rs.80,000/- each for undertaking Bachelor and Masters level education in the Natural & Basic sciences, ( (1) Physics, (2) Chemistry, (3) Mathematics, (4) Biology, (5) Statistics, (6) Geology, (7) Astrophysics, (8) Astronomy, (9) Electronics, (10) Botany, (11) Zoology, (12) Bio-chemistry, (13) Anthropology, (14) Microbiology, (15) Geophysics, (16) Geochemistry, (17) Atmospheric Sciences and (18) Oceanic Sciences)
Eligibility: Top 1% in 12th standard (or) secured top 10,000 ranks in the Joint Entrance Examination of JEE-Advance, JEE-Main plus those clearing NEET.
Scholarship: Rs. 8000 per month for B.Sc. & Rs. 12,000 per month for M.Sc
iii. Assured Opportunity for Research Careers (AORC)
Aims at attracting, attaching, retaining and nourishing talented young scientific Human Resource to strengthened the R&D foundation and base by offering doctoral a) INSPIRE Fellowship in the age group 22-27 years, in both Basic and Applied sciences (including engineering and medicine).
Eligibility: 1) University 1st Ranker at PG level examination 2) INSPIRE scholar, who have secured aggregate marks of 65 % are above at the 2 year MSc or 5 year Integrated MSc/MS.
Fellowship: Rs. 20,000 upto 5 years.
b) INSPIRE Faculty Scheme. young researchers in the age group of 27-32 years. It is expected to augment high quality scientific manpower in scientific and educational institutions
Eligibility: Ph.D, Publications with aggregate Impact Factor 10
Amount given: Each selected INSPIRE Faculty shall be eligible to receive a consolidated amount equivalent to the scale of the Assistant Professor of an IIT as Fellowship amount. In addition, a Research Grant of Rs 7 lakh per year for 5 years shall also be provided to each successful candidate.
I have spent lot of time in manuscript this. This I got to know from the educationalist Neduchezian from one of the Neeya Naana show. He had given outline but I researched to depth for the final outcome, from his inspiration I have made this.
