Objective:
To promote all-round development, and instil core values in students.

Context:
In present educational landscape, fostering holistic development is utmost important. Students need to develop communication and collaborative skills, Self-confidence, and an understanding of ethical principles, apart from academic knowledge and skills. Students need to transform themselves into knowledgeable and responsible members of the society.

In a society where diverse perspectives coexist, instilling values fosters harmony, and a collective commitment to
positive change.
The institution is committed to nurture excellence among students, and one avenue through which we try to achieve this, is our robust mentoring program. This initiative goes beyond academic guidance, aiming to instil core values and principles in students through value education.

The Practice:
Our mentoring program operates on a foundation of personalized guidance, pairing 15/20 students with a teacher mentor. This personal connection allows for individualized support, addressing both academic and personal developmental needs. The program spans the entire academic journey, ensuring continuous growth. Mentors have meetings with their mentees once a month, and focus on the key components of the mentoring program.

Key Components:
1. Academic Support: Mentors guide students in setting academic goals, in course selection, study techniques, exam preparation etc.

2. Personal Development: Mentors actively engage mentees in discussions on personal growth, emotional wellbeing, SWOC analysis etc.

3. Values Integration: A distinctive feature of our program is the deliberate focus on value education. Mentors facilitate discussions and activities centred on ethics, empathy, and social responsibility.
