Student Internship
The NMCPCR tries to arrange for Internships for students as part of the Post Graduate Diploma in Conflict Analysis and Peace-Building. In 2005-2006, we arranged Winter Internships for our students in the National Human Rights Commission, in Gujarat for the Aman Biradari and the Delhi Policy Group. In 2006-2007, some of the students did Winter Internships with the Right to Information Commission while others went to different parts of India to study conflicts in areas like Singur, Bihar, Jharkhand and Nepal. In December 2008, the final year students of the M.A. programme visited the South Eastern University in Sri Lanka and various NGOs as part of their fieldwork.
