In a special initiative for wildlife and environment enthusiasts, the Delhi government launched an internship programme to engage the youth in environmental and forestry pursuits today, Monday, August 7.
The internship portal was inaugurated during the fourth Van Mahotsav ceremony held at the Polo Ground of Delhi University, PTI reported.
Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai said this newly unveiled programme aims to introduce college students to the inner workings of the Department of Forest and Wildlife. An online portal was launched for the internship.
The minister emphasised the platform's dual role, envisaging its utility in both nurturing young minds and harnessing their potential to explore innovative technologies for forest and wildlife management, a statement said.
"This initiative will channel the energy of youth towards enhancing our understanding and preservation of these vital ecosystems," the statement quoted Rai as saying.
