Internship Experience-IDSA-Niharika Virlley

Interning at one of the most renowned think tanks, the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, has broadened my horizons in the domain of research and the nuances within policy-making. Within a few weeks in the organisation itself, I witnessed a growth in my knowledge in a more pragmatic and a professional sense. The experience so far has been an enriching exposure of the real world and how intricate the development process is, when it comes to policy decisions at the national or the international level. Being a part of a number of conferences, interactions and lectures, by organisations and delegates from various walks of life, I have been exposed to areas that need to be critically analysed and be incorporated in policy-making. As part of the Internal Security Division at IDSA, I have not just worked towards my area of research, i.e., the domain of refugees, but an array of realms within the Division, thus, contributing to the organisation as well. The extensive bank of knowledge that the organisation possesses, in terms of journals, reference materials and even the experts with hands-on experience, has truly helped me in aligning my area of research and specialisation for the future.

Internship Experience- Indian Council of World Affairs-Avishka Ashok

My experience at the Indian Council of World Affairs has taught me the tedious process of research and the internal working of a think tank. Being a part of the core meetings and closed door conferences was a fascinating experience. I attended a meeting on the Afghan Peace Process which was attended by the Chief of Afghan High Peace Council and other delegates from Afghanistan. There was a conference on Indian - Russian relations which was attended by many researchers and ambassadors. I had the opportunity to work under research fellows at ICWA who guided me through my research paper. It was an enlightening experience as I realized the efforts that one needs to put to write a good paper. The work culture is serious and relaxed at the same time. The fellows are busy with more than 4-5 projects at the same time. They don’t waste time and are always seen working on their projects. But there are times when the fellows would come to us and talk for a while. These conversations were info...
