Walk With a Scholar (WWS) Programme is another new Initiative Programme of Higher Education Department. It has been observed that the students in Arts, Science and Commerce Colleges do not get necessary orientation, to prepare them for employment or guidance necessary to select areas for higher study. Walk With a Scholar (WWS) scheme proposes to arrange specialized mentoring programmes for students in the Under Graduate Programmes in Arts, Science and Commerce and to provide guidance for their future.

The Government of Kerala had launched the Walk with A Scholar programme in the Govt Arts and Science Colleges during 2012-13 and extended to Aided Arts and Science Colleges in 2014-15. WWS scheme has been designed to arrange specialized mentoring programmes for students in Undergraduate programs in Arts, Science and Commerce and to provide guidance for their future career. The scheme introduces the idea of mentoring and builds on the concept of a mentor as a “Guide and Friend”. The Scheme aims at giving necessary orientation to bright students who can excel in their disciplines, to give them necessary guidance,, motivation; goal orientation and mental support to identify appropriate areas for higher study as well as future employment. For the purpose of mentoring, two categories of mentors are identified. The first is Internal Mentor and the second is External Mentor. The Internal Mentor is a faculty from the institution in which the scholar is studying. External Mentors are identified from persons who excel in their disciplines and professions as found necessary according to the local needs of the institution/ students.The programme is open for 30 students of the first year of the Under Graduate Programme of study in a college.
