Internship And Exploitation Of Labour
The Ministry of Human Resource Development, India has released the National Education Policy, 2020. While this is a welcome stratagem, the lacuna in law regarding regulation of internships needs addressing in order to avoid denial of human and labour rights, like- favourable working environment, fair remuneration, right against discrimination, reasonable working hours, etc, to interns. Ambiguity in internship regulations results in interns either performing the tasks of employees without pay, or performing menial jobs instead of gaining any real technical or learning experience. Measures like mandatory agreements between the host-organisation, educational institution and intern with clear assigning of terms are necessary to obligate favourable working conditions for interns. To protect interns from getting precarious without any legal protection and to ensure that the potential benefits reach them, it is essential that the educational institutions, host-organisations and the government work hand in hand.
