Abstract The INSPIRE–MANAK scheme fosters scientific creativity and problem-solving skills among students by providing a structured platform for school-based innovation. It plays a crucial role in promoting early research aptitude and aligning education with a knowledge-driven economy. In this context, the present study critically examines its implementation in District Anantnag through the perspectives of students, teachers, and Heads of Institutions. The study revealed 39.09% awareness among students, while a majority (60.91%) remained unaware. Participation levels were notably low, with just 15.03% of students registered and only 12.78% having attended orientation programmes. Lack of awareness (44%) and time constraints (20.66%) emerged as key barriers. Although schools were the primary source of information (67.66%), formal awareness initiatives reached only 17.29% of students, with mixed satisfaction levels. Teachers demonstrated relatively high awareness (82.75%) but limited engagement in capacity-building programmes (17.24%), with 65.51% reporting challenges in mentoring students. Resource constraints (31.03%) and inadequate guidance (27.58%) further restricted effective implementation. While HOIs exhibited universal awareness (100%), only half had received orientation, and institutional efforts remained inconsistent despite 66.66% reporting school-level activities. Overall, the study highlights a clear policy–practice misalignment, characterized by low student engagement, inadequate teacher preparedness, and fragmented institutional support, underscoring the need for systemic capacity building and sustained innovation integration aligned with NEP-2020.
