The mentoring program's goal is to provide career guidance and counselling to students, particularly those from underprivileged families. The government will place well-educated individuals in contact with young children. These mentors will be responsible for 4-5 children and will not only talk to them about their future careers, but will also assist them in resolving their difficulties.

Sonu Sood will take a few children under his wing and mentor them for the future. He'll also make a pitch to educated Indians to help train more children. He is expected to reach tens of thousands of Indians. At least 10 lakh children and 3 lakh working professionals are expected to benefit from the initiative.
