Overview
About ISDELHI
The Internship Scheme is run by the Department of Forests and Wildlife under the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD). It places students as short-term interns across the department's different sections, from forest and wildlife management to the administrative and legal work that supports them.
The aim is to give young people first-hand exposure to how the department functions. It is open to students enrolled at recognised schools, colleges and universities who are at least 18, and the department draws applicants from fields as varied as forestry, science, law, economics and management. An internship runs for a short, fixed period and does not extend beyond about three months in ordinary cases.
This is an in-kind opportunity rather than a paid one. No stipend is paid, but the department covers practical support such as transport to the work site and the printing of study material needed to complete the internship. On finishing, an intern receives a certificate with a grading based on their performance.
