On the occasion of India’s 79th Independence Day, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs is hosting over 100 interns from across the country as special guests to witness the national celebrations in New Delhi. These interns, part of the Prime Minister Internship Scheme (PMIS), will participate in a three-day immersion program from August 14–16 which will provide them an enriching and a holistic experience.

As part of the festivities, the Ministry will host a Special interaction of PMIS interns with Shri Harsh Malhotra, Minister of State for Corporate Affairs, and Smt. Deepti Gaur Mukerjee, Secretary, Ministry of Corporate Affairs on August 14. These interns- young changemakers, are currently interning with top Indian companies across different sectors. This event marks a milestone in the pilot phase of PMIS, which was launched in October 2024 and has already engaged over 350 leading companies nationwide and seen participation of youth from 36 States and UTs.

A key highlight of the evening will be the launch of the Digital Compendium, a curated collection of 79 inspiring stories from interns across India, showcasing their journeys of growth, learning, and impact. 

PMIS is designed to enhance the employability of India’s youth by bridging the gap between academic learning and workplace readiness. It also aims to spark entrepreneurial thinking by offering firsthand exposure to how businesses operate, innovate, and grow.

During the interaction, interns will share their transformative experiences—ranging from skill development and professional adaptation to meaningful contributions at their respective organizations. The Ministry views this engagement as a vital opportunity to gather feedback and insights that will shape the future of PMIS.
