A five day entrepreneurship and innovation bootcamp has motivated students of government degree colleges in Andhra Pradesh to not only consider entrepreneurial paths but also come up with solutions to community problems.

The event was a collaboration between the Ratan Tata Innovation Hub (RTIH) and the Commissionerate of Collegiate Education under the PM USHA initiative. The bootcamp that ran from 23rd to 27th February in Amaravati brought together 60 students selected through a merit based process from government degree colleges throughout the state.

It was an intensive programme with the focus on encouraging innovation, problem, solving capabilities, and entrepreneurial thinking among students. At the end of the day, participants had to present startup ideas based on the community problems which they had identified. The bootcamp through the combination of workshops, mentorship sessions, and collaborative tasks served as a platform for young learners to turn their innovative ideas into successful business ventures.

Students learned the basics of entrepreneurship such as idea validation, business model development, and problem solving driven by innovation. Starting from a perspective of job security, the program was intended to shift students' mindsets to consider entrepreneurship as a legitimate career choice besides conventional employment options.

Speaking to the participants, Kona Sasidhar, Principal Secretary of the School Education Department, stressed the role of curiosity and courage in innovation. He quoted, "Innovation is not the monopoly of any one discipline. Revolutionary ideas are born from the inquisitiveness and daring of a person, " therefore encouraging students not to be limited by the conventional academic boundaries.

Officials said these activities are components of a comprehensive approach to imbue entrepreneurial spirit in college students and to build a youthful innovation ecosystem.

By providing students with a network of mentors and hands- on learning experiences, the program is designed to help them acquire the necessary skills to start their own businesses and thus, make a positive impact on the local economy.

The bootcamp ended with the students' presentations of their ideas through which the participants had the chance to unveil their innovative solutions and get feedback from the experts and mentors.

India’s flagship initiatives on internships, apprenticeships and skilling — including the Prime Minister Internship Scheme (PMIS), the Employment Linked Incentive (ELI) and the National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS) — were designed as cornerstones of the country’s strategy to bridge the yawning gap between education and employability. Yet a recent assessment reveals that while these schemes hold promise, their real-world impact remains constrained by fundamental design and execution challenges.

Take PMIS, for example.One year after launch, the initiative aimed at securing internships for 10 million young Indians across leading firms shows minimal traction. Though big companies are involved, smaller ones, vital to India's economic fabric, are largely left out. Funding sits unused in several areas. Progress creeps forward slowly, falling far short of early promises. Hopes were high; results so far do not match.

Still, the NAPS apprenticeship setup, key for mixing real work experience with organized learning, faces issues like thin ties to employers, small stipends, and few finishing certifications. When trainees actually dive into tasks, concerns pop up about whether lessons match job needs or lead to stable, fair, paying roles.

Floating beneath these problems is a pattern that keeps repeating, policies might seem solid when written down, yet stumble once they meet real world job shifts. Instead of fitting into how work actually changes, they lag behind, like old maps guiding new roads. This is not solely an Indian problem — global analyses repeatedly highlight how skill development initiatives falter without robust industry integration, real-time data tracking and mechanisms to ensure long-term career progression.

India has a young population that could drive growth, yet most workers remain stuck in unstable, low, skill roles. Missing out on structured training means losing ground. Instead of counting placements alone, programs should ensure actual skill gain, pay that respects effort, along with clear paths into lasting employment. Without deep company involvement, courses that shift with needs such as software tools or electric vehicle production, and focused aid for those left behind, progress stalls before it starts.

Some people have landed jobs at top companies through PMIS, that shows the idea can deliver results. Yet growing those wins isnt about spending more money alone. It hinges on rebuilding how programs are shaped, forging tighter links between government and industry, staying fixed on real impact rather than counting numbers. Without these shifts, training efforts wont fuel India's push for widespread jobs, stronger factories, or standing tall worldwide.

In a move that combines youth involvement and contemporary policing, the Hyderabad City Police have introduced a well organized internship programme for college and university students below 25 years old. Through this initiative, the students are allowed to have first hand experience of law enforcement, crime analytics, and digital security operations which are becoming very important in the management of a city using technology.

Locally the programme in Hyderabad is a sign of the increased use of collaborative policing models where academic knowledge is combined with the practical world of the police.

Program Focus: Data, Digital Policing and Crime Research

The internship will be managed by the SMIT Cell, where selected students will assist various police divisions in analytical assignments, crime pattern mapping, digital monitoring support, and community safety strategy development.

Interns will gain exposure to:

• Data-driven policing models
• Cyber and digital security frameworks
• Research on crime trends and urban safety
• Public policy and community engagement mechanisms

Officials indicate that the objective is not clerical assistance, but structured analytical contribution aligned with modern policing techniques.

Participants who successfully complete the internship will receive certification from Hyderabad City Police — a credential expected to strengthen resumes for careers in public administration, forensic science, cybersecurity, criminal justice, and urban governance.

Eligibility and How to Apply

The internship is open to degree and postgraduate students under the age of 25. Interested candidates must apply through the official website (www.hyderabadpolice.gov.in) by:

• Visiting the Internship section on the homepage
•  
• Reviewing eligibility criteria
•  
• Preparing academic transcripts and valid ID proof
•  
• Completing the online application form
•  
• Uploading required documents
•  
• Submitting the form and saving the acknowledgment receipt
•  
• Authorities advise applicants to monitor updates through the official portal.

Strategic Significance

The project represents a change in the police force at large, a shift towards a culture that respects research, the adoption of technology, and youth engagement. The department is opening its doors to students to gain a first hand experience of police work. This is intended to not only reinforce the community's confidence in the police but also develop the upcoming generation of experts in the security field.

As more and more youngsters in India are getting interested in forensic science, criminology, and digital investigations, these types of internships offer them a chance to learn about the government and the functioning of the law enforcement agencies from a very young age. As national skill development efforts continue to emphasise applied learning, Hyderabad’s model may well become a template for other metropolitan police forces.

For students aspiring to careers in security, intelligence, or public administration, this internship is more than a short-term training opportunity — it is a front-row seat to the future of smart policing.

School students doing structured industry internships, defending research before experts, and pitching innovation ideas on a global stage in Dubai is no longer a rare exception. It is beginning to reflect a new model of early professional learning now emerging among a section of Indian schools and parents.

The latest Gen-i Industry Internship Cohort 3.0, enabled by YuviPep, concluded with 64 students selected from over 2,000 applicants representing 55 schools across South India. Students from Grades 5 to 11 worked across defined research, product, and media tracks, engaging with real-world problem statements, professional tools, and structured review systems.

The projects were built around real students and societal contexts. Research teams studied changing food choices among urban school students, redesigning waste management systems, and how AI and digital tools are being used for schoolwork. Product and media teams developed civic sense comic books in manga and pop art formats, youth tourism concepts for foreign teens visiting India, documentary work on urban childhood challenges, and safety focused technology prototypes.

From the same student innovation and mentorship ecosystem, two young innovators, Adhya KV and Jaswin Baweja, presented their solutions at the ISF Junicorn Global Summit 2026 in Dubai after progressing through mentor evaluation and national selection. Adhya has innovated “Feel the Beat,” a wearable solution that enables deaf children to experience music through vibration and visual patterns. Jaswin has built SmartGroww, an AI powered precision irrigation concept.

Sharing her learning from the Dubai summit, Adhya said, “I pitched my innovation to global mentors and received direct feedback on my presentation, research depth, and product direction. I built international connections and understood how ideas must be refined for real world impact and scale.”

Mentors and parents observed that the strongest outcomes across the internship were visible in student behaviour, ownership, communication, and decision making. Participants were required to justify choices with evidence, work with unfamiliar teams, accept critical feedback, and refine their ideas through multiple review rounds. Key learning values included ethical reasoning, sustainability awareness, inclusivity, collaboration discipline, and practical problem solving.

The final office presentation day held on February 7 placed students in formal review settings where they answered expert questions and defended their approach. Industry reviewers noted unusual clarity, seriousness, and accountability for the age group, especially in projects connected to real challenges.

Student intern Neeti said, “Yesterday was the epitome of learning for me. I developed crucial skills for my future such as public communication, teamwork, collaboration, and analytical reasoning when experts questioned our research. The experience gave me real confidence to present and defend my work.”

Intern Miruthiksha said, “It was an incredible learning journey. I learned how to approach problem statements, use tools properly, collaborate with my team, and contribute to a shared purpose. Spending a full day in a professional organization environment was a first-time experience that helped me understand how real work happens.”

With only 64 selections from a pool of more than 2,000 applicants, educators note that demand for structured early industry and innovation exposure is rising, as more students and parents seek learning experiences that build judgement, responsibility, and future decision-making ability, not just academic scores.
