Aiming to map each child studying in Delhi government schools, the government is working on mobilising 2 lakh youth to mentor the children. Through "Youth for Education" initiative young people aged below 30 years will be providing career guidance to the children in future. Deputy chief minister Manish sisodia said, "When we look at how education is imparted in high-performing nations abroad, we see that the practice of one-to-one marking is used. Our Delhi government school teachers who visited Finland or Cambridge University mentioned the same. One-to-one mapping of each child and understanding their individual profiles were commended by our teachers but they expressed concerns regarding the scale in Delhi. We know that catering to 16 lakh government school students is a challenge, but we have made this challenge an advantage for us by introducing innovative programmes that will build the community into a school. "Mentors can guide our school students and help them in building their careers, added sisodia. The programme has been piloted in 46 schools of east and south-east Delhi areas with the help of 4,000 mentors. Through another programme, the government plans to bridge the gap of communication between children, parents and schools by building a network of school management committee members and "School of Mitras". Through this programme, better connectivity can be made through the channels of our SMC parents involved in school and community activities, said Sisodia.

A bench of Chief Justice Dispankar datta and justice gs kulkarni also said that if the state government took a decision to begin such a drive before june 22.
