PM Internship Scheme

Prime Minister's Internship Scheme (PMIS): Features, Significance, Challenges, Way Forward

The Prime Minister’s Internship Scheme is underperforming due to chronic under-spending and poor uptake, with acceptance below 34 percent. An unviable ₹5,000 stipend is the key deterrent, reflecting deeper issues like skill mismatches. Revamp needs higher stipends, NEP 2020 alignment, and NAPS-style apprenticeship integration.
