Walk with a Scholar (WWS) is a dream project of Government of Kerala to excel meritorious students, in learning through specialized mentoring programmes, of the Under graduate Programmes in Arts, Science and Commerce and to provide guidance to frame their future. The scheme introduces the idea of mentoring and build capacities on the concept, mentor as a ‘Guide’ and ‘Friend’. The mentoring scheme is purely voluntary in nature and open for all students entering the first semester of the undergraduate programmes. However, students who belong to the general category must have 60% of marks/grade points in the qualifying examination. For SCs/STs, no mark restriction is imposed. The Scheme aims at giving necessary orientation to needy students to prepare for employment, and give them necessary guidance, motivation and mental support that enables them to identify appropriate areas for higher study and employment. The program also focuses to nurture a scholarly attitude among selected bright college students in all disciplines, provide them with learning opportunities to help sharpen their academic and critical thinking skills, help them confidently pursue their personal and academic goals, and guide them to develop in to socially responsible citizens.
