About NMM

Building India’s largest mentoring network

Our Mission

A nationwide initiative under NEP-2020

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 (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 NMM Bluebook — launched by the Ministry of Education — guides every Mentor-Mentee interaction on the platform.

Our Mission

To create a large pool of outstanding mentors.

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

Quality mentoring in every classroom.

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.
