First impression, first day formalities, infrastructure

The first impression at the commission was quite different from expected. It is unlike any “sarkari” office. There was small orientation on the first day to really know about what the commission does. The infrastructure is decent enough.

Main tasks

The main task assigned was to scrutinise the incoming cases relating to human rights and to group discussions on whether cognisance can be taken or not. A couple of debates were also organised. In the last week, all the interns were assigned to some research work too.

Work environment and people

The work environment in pretty decent. Expect 30-40 interns with you.

Bad things

Nothing specifically bad about this internship.

Stipend

Unpaid internship.

Biggest Lessons

This internship was an eye-opener when it comes to cases relating human rights. Read cases which came human small districts of Punjab.
