Describing it as a visionary initiative, she said it aims to involve young citizens of Delhi directly in governance, policymaking, and service delivery.

Calling it more than a learning opportunity, the CM said the internship is a "covenant between Delhi and its youth," urging them not to remain bystanders but to step up as active co-creators of Delhi's future.

A total of 150 interns will be selected through a fair and transparent process to serve for 89 days. Each intern will receive a monthly stipend of ₹20,000. During the internship, participants will work closely with government officials, policymakers, and community stakeholders, contributing to real-time projects that directly impact the lives of citizens.
