Walk With a Scholar Programme (WWS)
Walk With a Scholar (WWS) scheme is framed to provide specialized mentoring programmes for under graduate students in Arts, Science and Commerce with an aim to shape their future career. The scheme introduces the idea of mentoring and builds on the concept of mentor as a 'Guide' and 'Friend'. The Scheme aims at giving necessary orientation to needy students, to prepare them for employment and give them necessary guidance, motivation and necessary mental support to identify appropriate areas for higher study as well as employment. The mentoring scheme is to be planned to identify the opportunities available for the scholars, the areas suitable for them, the manner in which the scholar should proceed before them and evolve ways by which they can be acquired.
