INSPIRE IDEA AWARDS 2025–26

Faridabad Model School, Sector-31, has once again brought laurels to the institution by setting a remarkable benchmark in innovation, academic excellence, and holistic development. Demonstrating exceptional scientific curiosity and creativity, the school’s young innovators have achieved a significant milestone in the prestigious INSPIRE IDEA AWARDS 2025–26. Out of 1103 innovative ideas submitted from across the region only 60 outstanding ideas were selected to qualify for the next stage, and students from Faridabad Model School proudly secured their place among these distinguished innovators.

The INSPIRE (Innovation in Science Pursuit for Inspired Research) scheme is a flagship initiative of the Department of Science & Technology (DST), Government of India. The INSPIRE–MANAK (Million Minds Augmenting National Aspirations and Knowledge) programme aims to ignite scientific temperament among students of Classes VI to XII by encouraging them to develop original ideas and innovations rooted in science and societal applications. 

For each selected idea, the Department of Science & Technology will sanction a scholarship of Rs. 10,000/-. Among the proud achievers, Vivaan Mehta of Class X conceptualized and designed an innovative Light Therapy Device that utilizes near-infrared (NIR) light technology, intended to provide potential wellness benefits, highlighting the application of science in enhancing human well-being. Another noteworthy innovation was presented by Shivam Kumar of Class XII, whose idea is based on the principles of rain detection integrated with laser light technology. His system is designed to detect rainfall at the very first drop, to minimize damage to crops, other valuable resources, thereby supporting agricultural sustainability.

Congratulating the students on their remarkable achievement, FMS Academic Director Mrs. Shashi Bala and Director-Principal Mr. Umang Malik expressed immense pride and appreciation for their dedication and innovative thinking. They also extended their best wishes to the students for the upcoming District-Level Exhibition and Project Competition 2025–26, where the young innovators will further showcase their ideas.
