Yuva Saathi  is a pioneering  programme, in which  volunteer guides, Yuva Saathi, will serve as tour  guides   to school children. The programme, designed by the National Museum Institute, intends to make National Museum a place of learning and fun for the young visitors. Yuva Saathis are undergraduate students from colleges of Delhi trained specifically to guide children in National Museum.

Two tours everyday will run for  school groups from Tuesdays to Fridays, and four tours on Saturdays and Sundays.

For School Tour Coordinators (Teachers)
