Taking a pioneering step towards nurturing future professionals, NHAI in association with the Department of Higher Education, Government of India has launched 'NHAI Internship Program'. The initiative is designed to serve as a gateway for aspiring professionals to gain real-world, hands-on experience within the largest National Highway development ecosystem in the country. The programme was launched by Vineet Joshi, Secretary, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education and Santosh Kumar Yadav, Chairman NHAI in presence of senior officials from NHAI, Ministry of Education and AICTE.

Ensuring wider accessibility and transparency of the initiative, NHAI has also introduced a dedicated Internship Portal that will function as an integrated platform offering internship opportunities across over 150 major National Highway projects nationwide. Each project will accommodate up to four interns, creating an initial pool of nearly 600 students drawn from institutions, including IITs, NITs and AICTE affiliated institutes across the country. 

The Internship Portal has programmes of different durations such as one month, two months, and six months, thus catering to diverse academic and industry requirements. A stipend of Rs 20, 000 per month is given to every intern under the programme selected to help the intern's learning, mobility, and professional growth.

The Ministry of Higher Education has brought out the National Education Policy 2020, which advocates learning through the experiments, and industry exposure in order to make graduates more employable. This is achieved through the flexible curriculum and credit linked internship, along with extended duration internship during the final year of undergraduate program. Aligned with the spirit of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the internship programme is structured to go beyond observational learning.

Interns will actively participate in projects, gaining valuable field-based exposure for technical and managerial aspects of National Highway development. The programme will offer deep insights and hands-on exposure into how National Highways are planned, engineered and implemented on ground.

While the primary focus will be on Civil Engineering students, opportunities are also available for students from IT, Electronics, and Electrical Engineering disciplines, particularly in advanced domains such as Advanced Traffic Management Systems and Electronic Toll Collection.

The 'Winter Internship' offered under this programme got an encouraging response with participation of around 250 students. As part of this initiative, six-month internship programme for under-graduate engineering students has been introduced which will commence from 19th January 2026. Notably, around 500 applications have already been received for the six-month final-year under-graduate internship programme. The Internship Program will also be extended to post-graduate students in future.

The internship programme underscores NHAI's continued focus on skill development, aimed at creating a robust talent ecosystem and preparing the next generation of professionals to contribute to infrastructure development of the country. Education Secretary Vineet Joshi and NHAI Chairman Santosh Yadav join hands to offer an internship programme.

The Admiral Development Agency held a National Symposium to discuss Aeronautics 2047 on January 4, 2026, at the Centre for Airborne Systems in Bengaluru over a period of two days. The Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal AP Singh, opened the symposium where he praised ADA for achieving twenty-five years of flight testing of the Light Combat Aircraft Tejas and highlighted the importance of meeting delivery schedules for maintaining operational capabilities of the Indian Air Force in this fast-changing modern age.

During his presentation, Dr. Samir V. Kamat, Chairman, DRDO and Secretary of Defence R&D, stressed the need for achieving technologically advanced indigenous capabilities, thereby allowing for the eventual phase-out of imported technologies while striving for the objective of Viksit Bharat (Developed India) by 2047.

In order to share their perspectives on the development of aeronautics, design innovation, manufacturing, and future frontiers, the seminar has brought together domain specialists, business partners, academia, aviation enthusiasts, and speakers from within the aerospace community. Aeronautics-2047 aims to investigate many facets of contemporary aerospace technologies, such as next-generation aircraft manufacturing and assembly, digital manufacturing, aerodynamics for next-generation combat aircraft, propulsion technologies, flight testing methods, digital twin technology, certification issues, flight control systems and avionics, maintainability issues in fighter aircraft, artificial intelligence in aircraft design, and precision manufacturing for actuators.

The seminar will focus on the Indian space technology of tomorrow and the A to Z of LCA Tejas. The LCA Tejas has successfully made over 5,600 trial flights and was created by ADA (Aeronautical Development Agency) that initiated the project. More than 100 design work centres involving Government labs, academic institutes and industries collaborated with this programme. To make LCA a world power, several display technologies such as carbon composites, fly-by-wire control, etc. were developed.

The LCA Mk1A is an upgraded version of the home-designed and manufactured fighter aircraft and will be a very effective platform for satisfying the IAF’s operational needs. The LCA MK II and LCA Navy projects are also in the pipeline. The seminar will see a lineup of interrelated technical discussions by esteemed and celebrated speakers who are closely linked to the Tejas saga.

The nation has a lot to thank the LCA Tejas development for, as it has now become both a capability holder and capacity builder for the domestic fighter aircraft market. The LCA project is considered one of the most successful local defence development programmes, and IAF got a magnificent air superiority fighter. The IAF has already received 38 aircraft (32 Fighters and 6 Trainers) for its two squadrons.

PSUs, DPSUs, Industries, MSMEs and others are pulling out all the stops for their products that are indigenously designed and developed for airborne applications at this seminar.
