Mentorship Program

Mentorship is a unique method of supporting students to improve their learning skills, motivating them towards their future career and personal development. With the intake capacity of 63 – undergraduates ,16 – post graduates and 12- PHD scholars, Government Dental college and hospital, Nagpur focuses on the overall holistic development of dental students. Bridging the gap between the students (mentees) and Teachers (mentors) is well achieved in this programme. In view of this GDCHN has started the mentorship programme since 2020.
