PM Internship Scheme Underutilizes Funds

PM Internship Scheme Underutilizes Funds

The Prime Minister’s Internship Scheme (PMIS) is not doing well.

The government gave a lot of money for it, but only a small part was used.

Many people applied for the internships, but not many accepted the offers.

The government thinks the small amount of money given to interns might be why.

The scheme wants to give one crore internships in five years, but so far, it is not going as planned.

Only a few interns have completed their internships.

The government has not explained why this is happening.
