Coaching will be provided through empanelled institutions, including Aakash Institute, Narayana Academy, KD Campus and Ravindra Institute, it said. Students will receive classroom coaching, live sessions, study material and test preparation support after school hours and on weekends.
Education: Beyond Marks and Mental Wellness
Sood said, “This mission is not only offering educational resources, but also building the courage, confidence, and emotional strength to dream bigger." He further emphasised the supportive nature of the programme, adding, “it includes AI-enabled classrooms, human-centred education and truly equal opportunity for every child".
“No child in Delhi should ever feel unseen, unheard, or unsupported. Education is not just about marks; it is about mental wellness, dignity and humanity," he said.
He also urged school administrations and educators “to strengthen psychological support systems, early-distress protocols, teacher sensitisation and peer-support networks.
He further added, “The new mission carries not just dreams but a promise that no child will be left behind due to lack of guidance, financial resources or emotional support".
Calling the programme “a movement to strengthen talent, protect mental health and unlock Delhi's learning potential”, Sood described it as “a part of the government's commitment to an inclusive and aspirational future for Delhi's children”.
