4. Discussion Details

S.No Shri B. N Shrivastav

1
Workshops in the district do not take on the students for the internship duration even when
students are ready to work for free. This leads to dissatisfaction in the program.

2
Students are made to work without remuneration. This could lead to student abuse by the
workshop owners possibly to extract maximum work for no pay.

3
Students are not given travel allowance. Most students are from a very under privileged
background and cannot afford to pay for the travel even if it is a small amount like 50 Rs per day
