Our Mission
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 proposes to overhaul India’s education system in alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 — Quality Education. NEP-2020 (Para 15.11) recognises that teacher professional development requires a multidisciplinary perspective, professional dispositions, ethical values, and the continuous enhancement of teaching-learning practices — built on structured mentoring by experienced and competent mentors.
The National Mission for Mentoring (MITRA (NMM)) was created to deliver on that vision: a single, structured platform pairing outstanding educators with teachers, school heads, and learners across every state and union territory of India. NCTE has been mandated to develop and design the modalities, and the MITRA (NMM) Bluebook — launched by the Ministry of Education — guides every Mentor-Mentee interaction on the platform.
Our Mission
MITRA (NMM) aims to enable continuous professional development for every teacher in India through cross-learning and structured mentoring — short or long term — under the guidance of experienced educators and policy experts.
Our Vision
A supportive ecosystem where every educator has a mentor at reach — strengthening leadership, pedagogy, and learning outcomes for the goals of NEP-2020 and Viksit Bharat-2047.
Mentoring is not about creating replicas, but about inspiring individuals to unfold their unique potential and become the best version of themselves.
Our Story
From a single line in NEP-2020 to a nationwide platform — the milestones that brought MITRA (NMM) to life.
