The PM Internship Scheme is off to a good start, with offers by companies to train youth surpassing the government’s early-December target of 125,000 in just over two weeks of the programme’s formal launch, people aware of the details said. Large companies have been posting their internship offers on a government portal, designed to implement the scheme. The portal was launched on October 3, as part of a pilot project under the scheme to enhance employability among young Indians.
