What Is the PM Internship Scheme All About?
The Prime Minister’s Internship Scheme, officially titled “Meri Kahani, Meri Zubani”, is an ambitious government program that provides students across India an opportunity to work with various government departments and gain first-hand experience in public service.
With a focus on practical learning and real-time exposure, the initiative is being seen as a launchpad for youth engagement in nation-building.
Mobile App Features: What Interns Can Now Do
The newly launched mobile application will allow students to:
- Register and apply for internships under various ministries
- Track application status in real-time
- Upload reports and feedback during and after internship
- Access internship certificate downloads
- Get notifications for new internship openings across states
This is expected to reduce red tape, eliminate paperwork, and ensure faster onboarding and completion of internships.
Why This Matters for Indian Students
With limited exposure to governance-related roles, most students find it hard to secure meaningful internships in government bodies. This app solves that by:
- Opening up verified government internship roles to youth in every part of the country
- Ensuring equal opportunity irrespective of geography or background
- Bridging the gap between academia and public administration
Sitharaman emphasized the importance of youth in governance, noting that “this app gives students a platform to not just learn, but also to contribute to India’s development story.”

Government’s Push Toward Youth-Centric Digital Reforms
