EMP

The Education Mentoring Programme, under the Youth for Education initiative of the Government of NCT of Delhi, was launched to abridge the chasmic gap between male and female representation in the STEM workforce.

It has been observed that the female dropout rate from STEM after senior secondary schooling is astronomically high due to a plethora of social and economical reasons. This has led to a skewed STEM demographic, birthed from discrimination and prejudice.As we strive towards an equitable and holistic society, it is imperative that we also let go of such unfair notions and provide women with the previously gatekept support and guidance.

This Programme endeavours to integrate more and more young school girls into the strata of STEM Higher Education by imparting guidance through hand holding initiatives of college students. Continuous aid can help bolster one’s morale and assist them in soaring towards their goals. Through EMP, IGDTUW hopes to harness the true potential of countless girls aspiring to enter the STEM field and inculcate strong skills into their students. EMP aims to establish a dynamic relationship between the Mentor and Mentee where there is mutual growth and development.
