Gifted Education & Mentoring Support

In Pursuit of Excellence

GEMS (Gifted Education and Mentoring Support) is the outcome of a National level Project commissioned by the Office of Principal Scientific Advisor to the Government of India. Though started at the pilot level, the project evolved as a flagship program in the country to identify and nurture potentially gifted children who were part of the regular school system. The outcomes of the project are now translated into practice. It aims to create an ecosystem that promotes excellence through identification and mentoring. It intends to identify high potential (gifted) students from diverse educational backgrounds and provide meaningful academic and counselling guidance for the specified group of students. The support is provided for identification, teaching-learning resources, mentoring, teacher’s training, parents’ counselling.
