The Prime Minister Internship Scheme's Pilot Project has received applications nearly four times the total 1.18 lakh internship opportunities offered by 327 companies, according to a parliamentary reply. However, these companies have made a total of 71,000 internship offers so far, Minister of State for Corporate Affairs Harsh Malhotra informed the Lok Sabha on Monday.
'Currently, rolling out of offers and the process of acceptances and joining by interns is in progress,' the reply stated. In the first round of the pilot project, fewer than 15 per cent of candidates who were offered internships ended up joining the scheme.

The systemic surgery smaller firms need
India's manufacturing sector appears to be on the cusp of a revival. According to this week's print of the Index of Industrial Production, manufacturing grew by a promising 3.9 percent in June. Fifteen of the 23 industry groups under the second level of industrial classification posted positive annual growth in June 2025. The Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme has been credited for much of this revival. In July, minister of state for commerce and industry Jitin Prasada informed the Lok Sabha that PLI schemes, with an outlay of ₹1.97 lakh crore across 14 sectors, had attracted ₹1.76 lakh crore in investments by March. These resulted in production increases exceeding `16.5 lakh crore and generated over 12 lakh jobs. Electronics—especially mobile phone manufacturing—and pharmaceuticals have emerged as consistent success stories. The PLI scheme helped India move from being a net importer of bulk drugs (₹1,930 crore in 2021-22) to a net exporter (₹2,280 crore in 2024-25). This targeted strategy, aimed at fostering global champions and reducing import dependence, has undeniably positioned India as a serious manufacturing contender. Yet, a critical question lingers: in helping industrial giants, are we overlooking the micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME)—the silent-but-vital engine of inclusive growth? PLIs are designed to attract large-scale investments in high-tech industries with thresholds largely suited to established players. While their growth is vital for competitiveness and innovation, the benefits don't always reach the broader MSME ecosystem. This risks creating a dual economy—gleaming high-tech manufacturing hubs alongside a struggling MSME sector, much like the skyscrapers and slums of Mumbai. MSMEs are not mere ancillary units. They form the bedrock of India's economic fabric. As per data up to July 2024, MSMEs contributed above 30 percent of India's gross value added. They are crucial to India's trade ambitions, accounting for 45.79 percent of India's exports in May 2024, with MSME exports surging from ₹3.95 lakh crore in 2020-21 to an impressive ₹12.39 lakh crore in 2024-25. Crucially, they remain the nation's foremost job creators after agriculture, employing an estimated 203.9 million people as of July 2024. Their reach extends deeply into semi-urban and rural areas, providing livelihoods and fostering decentralised economic development.

States advance PM Ekta Mall projects to promote ODOP & GI products; UP, MP, Assam, Tamil Nadu, Bihar among top funded
New Delhi: As many as 27 states—all except West Bengal—have received central approval to set up PM Ekta Malls for showcasing and selling indigenous products under the 'One District, One Product' (ODOP) initiative. The Union government cleared projects worth nearly ₹ 4,796 crore in fiscal year 2023-24 under the scheme, official data shows. The PM Ekta Mall scheme, announced in the Union Budget 2023-24, aims to provide dedicated retail space for each state and Union Territory to promote ODOP items, Geographical Indication (GI)-tagged goods and local handicrafts. The scheme is being implemented under Part-VI of the Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment (SASCI) framework by the ministry of finance. Union minister of state for commerce and industry Jitin Prasada informed the Lok Sabha in a written reply that, upon the recommendation of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), the Department of Expenditure has approved Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) of 27 states for the construction of PM Ekta Malls. As per the information provided by the minister to Lok Sabha on Tuesday,the highest allocation has gone to Uttar Pradesh, which has been permitted to set up three Ekta Malls—one each in Agra, Lucknow, and Varanasi—receiving ₹ 370.25 crore, given the state's size and diversity of local crafts. Madhya Pradesh follows with an allocation of ₹ 284 crore for a mall in Ujjain, while Assam has been sanctioned ₹ 226 crore for the project in Guwahati. Tamil Nadu and Bihar have also received substantial support, with ₹ 223 crore and ₹ 212.69 crore respectively, to build Ekta Malls in Chennai and Patna. Other prominent states include Gujarat and Telangana, each sanctioned ₹ 202 crore, and Maharashtra, which has received ₹ 195.14 crore for the Navi Mumbai mall. Under the SASCI guidelines, states had to submit detailed project reports, with allocations made on a first-come, first-served basis. The government had earmarked a total of ₹ 5,000 crore for the scheme. States are required to provide land for the malls free of cost or bear the cost of acquisition. 'The initiative is designed to create retail-level visibility for India's traditional and regional products, offering artisans and producers a permanent marketing platform in prime urban locations,' said Prasada in a written reply to the Lok Sabha. 'All states are encouraged to establish PM Ekta Mall (Unity Mall), announced in the Union Budget 2023-24, for the promotion and sale of ODOP, GI products, and other handicrafts from across the country,' the minister said. The malls are to be preferably located in state capitals, or in financial or tourism hubs in cases where that offers better visibility. While 27 states have received approvals and funding, states/UTs that are yet to commence work or secure central clearance for their Ekta Mall projects include West Bengal, Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir, Chandigarh, Ladakh, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, and Puducherry. The initiative is expected to boost the sale of ODOP and GI products and provide greater market access to artisans, weavers, and small producers, aligning with the broader goal of promoting local entrepreneurship and self-reliance.
