NEW DELHI. Nearly one lakh young people have been successfully connected to the Prime Minister Internship Scheme (PMIS) through the Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat) platform, expanding national awareness and access to corporate internship opportunities. According to information shared by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports in the Rajya Sabha, the Department of Youth Affairs is collaborating closely with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs to promote the scheme by leveraging its robust digital infrastructure and extensive nationwide volunteer network. As of July 16, 2026, a total of 98,632 youth had been redirected from the MY Bharat portal to the PMIS portal for registration and applications, with Uttar Pradesh recording the highest participation at 10,838 applicants, followed closely by Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and other major states.
To strengthen outreach beyond digital platforms, MY Bharat and the Corporate Affairs Ministry have also organized physical internship and awareness camps in cities like Chennai, Pune, and Dantewada. These regional camps enabled candidates to interact directly with employers, understand available professional roles, and receive hands-on assistance with their application formalities, drawing strong participation from hundreds of aspiring professionals.
This collaborative initiative aims to significantly strengthen India’s youth employability ecosystem by creating structured, accessible pathways to corporate internships. By combining digital mobilization with targeted grassroots outreach, the program successfully bridges the gap between youth talent and industry requirements, driving forward the national vision of Viksit Bharat@2047 by equipping young citizens with future-ready skills and invaluable corporate exposure.
