Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is scheduled to launch a dedicated app for the Prime Minister’s Internship Scheme (PMIS) today.

The launch, aims to enhance participation by facilitating easier registration for the second round of the scheme, which accepts applications until March 31.

The app seeks to address the challenge of limited computer access by leveraging the widespread use of mobile phones, which offer a user-friendly alternative for many applicants.

In tandem with the app launch, a facilitation centre dedicated to PMIS will be established in Kolkata.

This centre is a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).

The CII, which operates 47 model career centres, will integrate PMIS cells to mobilise candidates and provide necessary guidance.
