NABARD invites applications from universities/institutes for the NABARD Student Internship Scheme (SIS) 2022-23.

About NABARD SIS 2022

The objective of the Scheme is to assign short term tasks/projects/studies useful and relevant to NABARD, to talented students pursuing post-graduate degree (completing/completed first year) in Agriculture and allied disciplines (Veterinary, Fisheries, etc.), Agri-business, Economics, Social Sciences and Management from Institutes/ Universities of repute or Students pursuing 5 years integrated courses including Law completing/completed 4th year of their course.

The scheme is expected to provide valuable feedback with a fresh perspective through studies/projects undertaken by the students on themes of interest to NABARD.

Broad Theme

The broad objective of SIS 2022-23 will be to assess/gauge the impact of various NABARD interventions at the ground level. The SIS 2022-23 scheme will also serve as an exercise for documentation of success stories of NABARD’s projects/programmes/schemes/activities at the field level.

To ensure that we have a decent number of reports on a particular topic so that we can draw reasonable insights, all interns selected under SIS 2022-23 will be required to study one of the following three NABARD interventions only:

  • Farmers Producer Organisations/Farmer Collectives
  • Rural Community Institutions: SHGs/JLGs or
  • Watershed Development Programmes

The study sample may cover mix units/respondents (with and without NABARD’s support/interventions) to make a comparative assessment and qualitative feedback.
