'Youth for Inclusive Politics' internship.
The essence of any democracy is that young minds join/engage with the political process to ensure that governments keep pace with the evolving needs and aspirations of society. However, the difference in the average age of the politicians as compared to the citizens is staggering and the time has come for India's young generation to engage in the political process. Unfortunately, Indian politics is at a juncture where ordinary citizens have no access to enter into politics or participate in the electoral process until one belongs to a political family.
As a pol startup, AAP takes pride in bringing the role of technology and professional expertise into politics, which has now become a new norm.
We are inviting all hardworking and ambitious young minds to become part of AAP s Punjab campaign team as professional interns. If you are one of those who aspire to experience the political battle from the forefront and ready to test your professional expertise in dealing with real-time issues then this is a great opportunity for you!

With the Aam Aadmi Party's arrival in 2012, a large number of India's youth took the plunge and joined politics for the first time, shaking the entire political nexus.
