As outlined in the notice, each selected individual will get a stipend of  ₹20,000 per month for a three-month internship, providing both financial support and valuable learning experiences. Interested and eligible individuals are advised to apply online. 

Selection Procedure

The selection process will begin with candidates submitting an online application that includes four short-answer questions designed to assess their understanding and intent. From these applicants, the government will shortlist 300 applicants for a one-day boot camp, where there will be interactive sessions, workshops, and a concluding round of essays. From the participants, 150 interns will be selected for the programme.

Internship will be structured in three phases 

The internship will be done in three distinct phases. In the first phase, interns will receive training on the structure of the Delhi government, the process of policymaking, and key social issues. In the second phase, they will engage in fieldwork across all 70 Assembly constituencies, where they will interact with citizens to identify grassroots problems and propose solutions. The final phase involves drafting policy papers on ten major issues, with the top proposals being presented directly to the Chief Minister.
