Deep dives

Government's Internship Initiative

The government plans to create internships for 1 crore young individuals by partnering with 500 top companies to enhance employability among graduates. Each company is expected to hire around 4,000 interns annually, providing a stipend of 5,000 rupees a month and a one-time allowance for additional expenses. This initiative aims to address the growing gap between job seekers and available positions, as many graduates are not immediately employable without on-the-job training. However, the program relies heavily on corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds, minimizing additional financial burdens on companies while redirecting existing resources to support skill development.
