India to Spotlight PM Internship Scheme Beneficiaries
The Indian government is planning to highlight 100 young people who have benefited from a special internship program during the Independence Day celebrations.
This program helps young people get paid internships at big companies to learn skills.
The goal is to help young people find jobs after school by giving them real-world experience.
Experts think this is a good idea to help young people find work.
In the first round, companies offered over 127,000 internships, and in the second round, over 22,500 people accepted internship offers.
The Indian government will spotlight 100 PM Internship Scheme beneficiaries during Independence Day.
The scheme aims to provide 10 million paid internships to youth aged 21-24 over five years.
The government seeks to bridge the gap between education and employability through the scheme.
Experts view the scheme as an important step to address youth unemployment and underemployment.
Round II of the scheme saw over 455,000 applications and over 22,500 offers accepted.
