The Delhi government’s ‘Desh ke Mentor’ programme that aims to provide voluntary mentors to students in classes IX to XII is set to be expanded to another 200 government schools.
As part of the programme, people between the ages of 18 and 35 can sign up to be mentors through an app created by a team at Delhi Technological University.
They will then be connected to students based on mutual interests. The mentorship entails regular phone calls for a minimum of two months, which can be extended for another four months optionally.
