🚀 Empowering Young Innovators: INSPIRE Awards–MANAK & Bal Vaigyanik Pradarshani Expert Sessions

Inspiring Young Minds to Think, Create and Innovate

I had the wonderful opportunity to conduct expert sessions on INSPIRE Awards–MANAK and Bal Vaigyanik Pradarshani (BVP) during a two-day District Level Training Programme organized in Valsad District.

The sessions were conducted on 1st and 2nd September 2026 at the District Science Center, Dharampur, where I interacted with participants and shared practical insights on innovation, creativity, problem-solving and scientific thinking.

💡 From Problems to Powerful Ideas

The central message of my sessions was simple:

Every innovation begins with observing a problem.

Students should be encouraged to:

🔹 Observe problems around them

🔹 Ask meaningful questions

🔹 Think differently

🔹 Develop practical solutions

🔹 Create simple prototypes

🔹 Test and improve their ideas

The innovation journey can be summarized as:

Observe → Identify a Problem → Think → Create → Test → Improve

🔬 Innovation is Not About Expensive Technology

A powerful innovation does not always require expensive equipment or complicated technology.

Sometimes, a simple solution to a common daily-life problem can create a meaningful impact on society.

Through programmes such as INSPIRE Awards–MANAK and Bal Vaigyanik Pradarshani, young students get valuable opportunities to develop their creativity, scientific temperament and confidence.

👩‍🏫 The Important Role of Teachers

Teachers play a vital role in creating future innovators.

Instead of giving students all the answers, we should encourage them to ask questions, experiment, make mistakes and discover better solutions.

A single curious question can become the beginning of a great innovation.

🌟 Let Us Build a Generation of Problem Solvers

India needs young people who can not only learn from books but also use their knowledge to solve real-life challenges.

Innovation begins when a young mind says:

«“I have identified a problem, and I want to find a solution.”»

I sincerely appreciate the efforts of DIET, Valsad, for organizing this important training programme and providing me with the opportunity to contribute as an Expert Faculty Member.

Let us inspire every student to think creatively, solve problems and become a future innovator.

🚀 Think Different. Solve Problem

s. Create Innovations.
