PM Internship's Second Pilot Targets Significant Hiring Increase
The government is running a program called PMIS to help young people get internships.
A new round starts August 1 with a lot more internships available.
In the first round, not all companies could hire interns quickly.
Interns are getting paid about Rs 15,000 a month.
The government might join this program with another one to help create more jobs.
This program aims to give 10 million young people internship chances.
PM Internship Scheme's second pilot launches August 1, targeting a six-fold increase in hiring.
The FY26 target is 700,000 internships, a significant rise from FY25.
The first pilot faced execution challenges, including companies missing the 45-day deadline.
Interns in the first pilot received an average monthly stipend of approximately Rs 15,000.
The government is considering merging PMIS with the ELI scheme to boost job creation.
