Internship Program at Wildlife Institute of India – Environment & Conservation – Dehradun, India
This one is for all the environment and wildlife lovers of Internshala.

Sample couple of the themes for the internship program; Evaluation of methods for DNA extraction from Antlers, GIS & Database development. Get what I am saying? What more, this could perhaps be the most beautiful place to be in the summers. The last date to apply is 16th December 2011 – hurry!
