Internship with PRS Legislative, Delhi [For Sep 2022]: Apply by Aug 20

About

PRS offers rolling internships throughout the year. The PRS staff consists of a team of dedicated professionals with different areas of expertise and is broadly divided into the research and outreach departments.
While the research team analyses legislative and policy issues of topical interest, the outreach team tracks the working of the legislatures and legislators, manages citizen engagement, and is PRS’s interface with the MPs and MLAs. A prospective intern can apply for an internship in either/both departments.
Please Note: PRS Legislative is currently only accepting applications for September 2022. This is an offline internship.
