TESTIMONIALS OF INTERNS

My time as a Survey intern taught me a lot both professionally and personally. The program made me aware of the entire research procedure. My internship offered a very warm and welcoming environment where I had the ability to learn a lot of information on the foundation (and) develop and gain many new skills. The tasks I completed helped me understand what I want to work with in the future.

As an intern (I) had various responsibilities daily, some examples are, conducting awareness session, making a power point presentation, writing reports on various sessions, etc. I also learnt the very important aspects of clear communication, coordination, and teamwork from watching the whole prison team of IVF work so well. I learnt how to make reports and write short summaries of various events practically which in turn also improved my writing skills. I also improved my research skills while making power point presentations.

I interned in the Communications Department of the organization... I learnt quite a lot about the intricacies of interaction with the audience. I realized the importance of establishing a connection with the readers and how awareness can be spread using social media platforms. Since my job mostly consisted of spreading awareness about contemporary issues on Twitter, I derived a sense of satisfaction by contributing my bit to society. I would be ever so grateful for this opportunity which has enriched me personally and has given me a higher purpose in life.

My time as a Communications intern at India Vision Foundation has been interactive and well spent. As an intern, there is a lot of scope of learning new things and gaining new skills, this was made possible by the environment provided by the India Vision Team. The various tasks I completed allowed me to understand what my strong suits are and what I want to work with in the future. The internship was an enriching experience and something I'd like to do again in the future.

Interning at India Vision Foundation was an immensely enriching experience. As a student of Public Policy, it was very insightful to attend training sessions and understand the experience of prison officials first-hand. Mrs Renu Nag, the Head of Learning & Development, was a brilliant mentor. She encouraged me to come up with fresh ideas and gave me tremendous insight into the issues that they help solve. As an organization, India Vision Foundation is one of the best examples of how non-government organizations can work hand-in-hand with government officials and create much needed impact and reform. The opportunity to intern at India Vision Foundation has provided me with a fresh perspective and a multifaceted understanding of prison reform, inmate well-being, and rehabilitation. The internship also inspired me to learn more about India’s prison system, which led me to write my Master’s dissertation paper on ‘Prison reform in India’.
