New Delhi, Jan 18 (IANS): The National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) on Saturday announced the launch of its Internet Governance Internship and Capacity Building Scheme, which aims to build awareness and develop expertise in internet governance among Indian citizens.

A fixed stipend of Rs 20,000 per month will be provided to interns along with support to conduct mandatory outreach programmes, according to the IT Ministry.

S. Krishnan, Secretary, MeitY, and Chairman, NIXI, said that we need people from different fields who can dedicate time to internet governance and represent the real concerns of our society.

“Our goal is to inspire young minds to learn, grow, and use their knowledge to make a positive impact in their organisations and communities, helping the internet grow in a fair and inclusive way,” said Krishnan.

The scheme is set to shape the next generation of tech policy leaders and Internet Governance experts.

“Today's generation values experience over traditional stable jobs. NIXI’s Internet Governance Internship is a great opportunity for youth passionate about digital policy, providing global exposure,” he mentioned.

The programme aims to equip participants with the knowledge to effectively engage in global internet governance processes with organisations like Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), Internet Society or Information Security Operations Center (ISOC), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and collaborate closely with leading experts in the field.

It will nurture a pool of domestic talent who can deeply engage with emerging internet governance issues and contribute to their resolution, according to MeitY.

The programme offers a bi-annual internship with two parallel tracks: a six-month programme and a three-month programme.

According to Dr Devesh Tyagi, CEO, NIXI, this programme is a crucial step towards empowering Indian citizens to contribute meaningfully to the global internet governance ecosystem.

“By building next generation of internet governance experts, NIXI is paving the way for a more inclusive and accessible digital world,” he noted.

    My journey has been defined by resilience, determination, and an unwavering commitment to growth. Growing up in an educated household in a resource-limited village, I was encouraged to pursue my passion for technology and computer science. From a young age, I embraced challenges as opportunities, excelling academically and scoring 89.5% on the NUMS test in Pakistan. Despite financial constraints, I chose to pursue higher education at an affordable nearby university, demonstrating my resourcefulness and dedication to achieving my goals. Living in a village with scarce educational opportunities has instilled in me a strong work ethic, adaptability, and a solution-oriented mindset. Balancing academics with financial responsibilities, I have consistently maintained a CGPA of 3.6 or above. I am a self-motivated learner, constantly exploring new fields such as Kotlin, Python, and machine learning, while honing my problem-solving skills. My determination to improve is evident in my research on developing algorithms to enhance internet performance in underserved areas like my community. Beyond academics, I am a well-rounded individual with a passion for sports, having earned the title of badminton champion at my university. This achievement reflects my discipline, teamwork, and competitive spirit. I am also deeply committed to lifelong learning, drawing inspiration from books and practical experiences that fuel my intellectual curiosity and drive for innovation. This internship program presents a unique opportunity to align my skills and aspirations with meaningful contributions to internet governance. It will enable me to further develop my technical and leadership capabilities, collaborate with like-minded individuals, and create solutions that address societal challenges. I am confident that my blend of academic excellence, adaptability, and passion for making a difference will allow me to thrive in this program and contribute positively to its success.
