The Education Minister, Ashish Sood, described the mission not just as an academic intervention but as a broader effort to boost confidence, mental wellness, and dignity for students – sending a message that no child in Delhi should feel “unseen or unsupported”.
“This mission is not only offering educational resources but also building courage, confidence, and emotional strength to dream bigger,” Sood said, adding that he said it will also include AI-enabled classrooms and human-centred education.
The National Testing Agency will conduct the NEET UG 2026 exam on 3 May. More than 25 lakh students are expected to compete for around 1.37 lakh MBBS seats. But competition will be very fierce.
