We are delighted to extend an invitation to your network to participate in the District Collectorate Internship Programme (DCIP), an esteemed internship opportunity under the district administration of Kozhikode, Kerala. As we embark on our 27th batch, we are excited to welcome talented individuals who are eager to contribute to the community and gain invaluable experience in public service.
Since its inception in 2015, the DCIP has been dedicated to providing a platform for students and young professionals to engage with the intricacies of governance at the grassroots level. Over the past nine years, we have witnessed remarkable growth and success, with interns making significant contributions to various initiatives and projects within the district.
The DCIP offers a unique opportunity for interns to work alongside experienced administrators, gaining firsthand exposure to the challenges and opportunities inherent in public service.
District Collector’s Internship Programme (DCIP) is an unpaid multidisciplinary internship program offered by the District Administration, Kozhikode, to facilitate the development of a compassionate and responsible civil society.
DCIP is a unique program to involve enterprising youngsters in participatory governance. Practically, the idea is to make young people active participants in the process of tackling developmental challenges faced by the community through an internship with the government system. The program also aims to give interns direct exposure to the functioning of the Public System. The interns will be involved in projects that can be challenging and will require them to use their expertise and knowledge contextually. Through their association with the District Administration, the interns will thus be armed with an understanding of various policy issues and will find themselves developing the ability to plan solutions and implement them. In return, what awaits the interns is the promise of holistic development, a transformation from merely existing to living with purpose. The contribution of Interns in the extraordinary fight against the Nipah outbreak, Flood rescue activities, and the COVID-19 pandemic is the epitome of such a concept. DCIP is a full time, non-stipendiary internship for four months.
