Rajeswari Shankar, Mentor, Project Puthri My role as a mentor began with sessions at Government Girls Higher secondary school, Ashok Nagar in July 2018. As we (another mentor joined me) began planning for our topics we shared our views constantly and found that increasing the attendance at Puthri classes was a major challenge. The school spokesperson, who understood our sincere efforts, came to our rescue in regularizing the attendance. The two of us (mentors) begin to see subtle attitudinal changes in Puthri scholars. The girls moved us with their expressive bonding and we finished the sessions with greater eagerness to start the next academic year. We were then allotted all the five classes (from 8th to 12), for conducting two sessions in a week. This was a major breakthrough which I experienced during my mentoring experience. Although my partner-mentor had to leave due to her other commitments we could start the sessions for all classes for the year 2019-20, with a grand inaugural function. |

Although we face many operational challenges, we believe that we have come a long way in bringing forth positive changes in terms of acceptance of project Puthri among school stake holders, response and attitudinal changes of Puthri scholars themselves. Consistent efforts in conducting regular sessions shall pave the way for extraordinary results since it is proved beyond doubt from my above experiences that 'There is no shortcut for success for all our endeavors'. |
