In a written response to a question in the Lok Sabha Monsoon session, the Ministry clarified that the initiative is open to women students, scholars, social activists and teachers between the ages of 21 and 40 years. According to the Ministry, the programme aims to familiarise participants with policies and schemes related to women and children through short-term association. 'Interns will work on pilot projects and micro-studies focused on ongoing activities of the Ministry,' it said in its response. The Ministry stated that after completion of the internship, participants are expected to provide inputs for policy formulation. These inputs could take the form of empirical analysis, reports, or policy papers, which, the Ministry added, can help 'bridge information gaps on issues concerning women and children.' Step 1: Go to the official portal of MWCD at Step 2: Check that you are applying during the first ten days of the month before your intended internship term (for example, apply June 1–10 for August–September). Step 3: Prepare your Curriculum Vitae (CV) and a Statement of Purpose (SOP) explaining your interest in women's and children's issues. Step 4: Fill out the application form on the portal and upload your CV and SOP to complete the submission. The guidelines divide applicants into working and non-working groups. The working category includes teachers, scholars and social activists, while the non-working category consists of students enrolled in undergraduate or postgraduate programmes. Selection is also made to ensure regional and demographic diversity. 'Interns are chosen from rural and urban backgrounds, and from all zones, that is, North, South, East, West, Central, and North-East,' the Ministry noted. It also said that women from non-tier-I cities and rural areas are part of the selection pool. The programme runs in four batches each financial year — May-June, August-September, November-December, and February-March. Each batch lasts two months and can accommodate up to 20 participants. The Ministry clarified that selected interns may also be assigned to other pilot projects and studies being carried out during their tenure.
