Desh ke Mentor Programme: The Chief Minister of National Capital, Arvind Kejriwal on October 11 launched the ‘Desh ke Mentor Programme’. Under this programme guidance related to career choices will be imparted to the students of Delhi government schools by citizens who are successful in their respective fields. The "Desh ke mentor" programme entails "adopting" one to 10 government school students who can be mentored by citizens who are successful in their respective fields.
With the help of this programme, students will be mentored by these people for 10 minutes every week. The mentors will guide students over the phone and help them carve their career paths. As a part of the initiative, citizens interested in the programme can adopt between one to 10 children studying in the city's government schools.
"If our students get right guidance, they can excel in every sphere of life. We have launched this programme to help them chalk a future path with mentors guiding them beyond the role played by their teachers," Kejriwal said at the launch. In August 2021, the Delhi government made the announcement that Bollywood actor Sonu Sood will be the brand ambassador for the mentors' programme.
Speaking at the occasion, the actor shared, "Today, I have been given an opportunity to mentor lakhs of students. There is no greater service than guiding students. I am sure together we can & we will.”
Expressing gratitude for being a part of this initiative, CM Kejriwal shared, “We are thankful to Sonu Sood for taking out time from his busy schedule. He is an inspiration for the entire country. Thousands reach out to him for help. This is a sort of miracle that he has been doing what so many governments have not been able to do. We had a long chat about his work and shared the work of the Delhi government with him.”
