On Friday, Sonu Sood has been appointed as the ambassador for the Delhi government’s ‘Desh Ke Mentor’ initiative for school children. The announcement was made by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a press conference. The initiative will be launched in mid-September.

Sood said, “We have seen the model of governance in Delhi and how the whole school system has witnessed immense growth under that model. It is an honour for me to be the ambassador for such an initiative. There are thousands of school children who are talented but not privileged enough to have guidance, especially at a time when people have started looking beyond medical and engineering studies as the only two major choices. The recent lockdown and the hardships faced by people during the lockdowns highlighted the importance of education of children and the need to help them shape up their careers.”
