He encouraged interns to make the most of the opportunities provided under the scheme and to carry forward the values of innovation, dedication, and public service.
The three-day programme in New Delhi includes guided interactions, exposure visits, and participation in national events, making it a memorable and enriching experience for the interns. The presence of PMIS interns at the Republic Day celebrations underlines the government’s commitment to investing in youth potential and integrating young minds into the vision of a Viksit Bharat.
