The National Biodiversity Authority (NBA) has introduced a short-term internship program targeting undergraduate and postgraduate students. Designed to provide practical, project-based learning, it seeks to improve capacity and environmental awareness.
NBA’s Biodiversity Samrakshan Internship programme (BSIP) spans one year, with the option to extend, offering hands-on engagement across state biodiversity boards and union biodiversity councils. In its sixth year, the program currently includes 24 interns.
Interns participate in various activities, including meetings and field studies, as part of biodiversity conservation efforts. Their engagement helps support the operations of state and union biodiversity bodies, aiming to integrate environmental education with career-building opportunities.
