Summer Research Program – On boarding

Welcome to Rakshak Foundation’s Summer Research Program

The program gets carried out in 2 batches:
Batch 1: This is for MBA students only. Their internship runs from March 31st till June 7th (to coincide with their summer vacation)

Batch 2: This is for rest of UG and PG students. This internship runs from May 16th till July 15th and is a residential program where interns would stay at IIIT Delhi campus (except local Delhi students and Delhi residents). In some cases hostel accommodation is available to Delhi residents/students but they will have to bear the expenses.

The internship program is very rigorous and requires your full attention. Most of the interns will be working with highly accomplished mentors and are required to make continuous trackable progress. Internship coordinators are there to help at various stages. Interns are required to be active on social media to discuss, share and collaborate on their work and new learnings. Interns will be divided into different groups and they will have to make progress on these group projects along with their regular individual projects.

Each intern is assigned a internship roll number, which is used in all the documents the intern submits though dropbox. Interns must stick to the deadlines and must not miss deadlines. Interns will be required to submit PDF documents of weekly progress report, weekly progress presentations, field visit report, mentor meeting minutes, mid term presentation, mid term report, final presentation and final report.

During the course of the internship, foundation would engage and promote group activities. There would be tour to couple of local NGOs, documentary screening, invited guest lectures and team building sessions.
