Summer Internship with Centre for Civil Society – Public Policy – Delhi, India
The night long sessions at Gurunath (IIT Madras’s student hang out area), debating the socio-political issues that ail the country threadbare and propounding newer theories everyday over coffee and masala Maggie are one of the fondest memories that I have of my college days. All of us, at some point or other, have the spark that makes us believe that we are THE future of the country, we could change the way the system worked and we could fix what was broken, if given a chance. Well, this internship is that chance!
Brace yourself for 6 weeks of intense soul stirring and thought provoking debate and discussion sessions with the best and the brightest in the country. The real question is are you up for the challenge? The last date to apply is May 1st, 2012
