6. First day formalities, infrastructure, first impression

·       First day formalities were much presumed and basic I was asked to submit my personal and academic details like Name, University Name, Year and semester of study, Email id, Contact Number apart from this I was also asked to submit my Curriculum Vitae (CV) and Cover letter to the given organisation’s email id. Also, after providing these I was added to the organisations WhatsApp groups.  

·       About infrastructure my internship was online home-based. Can’t say anything about physical infrastructure but for the online virtual method we had our every meeting on the reliable Google-Meet platform and for general communication, queries and regular updates we had our WhatsApp groups.

·       My first Impression to the organisation was pretty good. As a first-year student who is doing his first internship that also online I was little bit timid about things but the organisation welcomed me wholeheartedly. I become an acquaintance of the organisation within no time.

7. Main task

·       As one of the significant aims and objectives of the organisation is to create Legal awareness in the society one of the my main tasks was to create a WhatsApp group and to add as many as individuals as possible and then to share the daily legal updates in that particular group like regarding any important amendment, legal current affairs, information about various MUNs taking place, various law based competitions, articles, blogs etc. all of which was sent to me by my mentor daily, I  just had to forward it further in my particular group. So, that more and more individuals get know about things happening around. 

Apart from this, other tasks were:

·       Debate competition (Topic was given by the organisation)

·       Moot Court Competition (Moot Proposition and teams were allotted by the organisation)

8. Work environment

·       Work environment of my internship was virtual but still very composed and cohesive, mentor was just a text or call away to guide me whenever I needed him. Things like meeting date and time, task submission deadline and other things were not decided arbitrarily but through everyone’s consensus/consent in consideration with every intern’s university/college exam and stuff.

9. Good things

·       Friendly environment

·       Management of things

·       Availability of the mentor

·       Not-pressurizing

·       Promoting to maintain robustness in both Hindi and English language.

10. Bad things

·       Sometimes making things more informal in nature

11. Stipend (if any)

·       No

12. Accommodation, commuting to office

·       Online home-based internship

13. Anything else? Like: what you did to chill out, lessons learnt etc.

·       To chill out we had our informal chats on WhatsApp groups with mentor, interactive Google-Meets and obviously jokes.

·       Among many one of the lessons, I learnt on the very first minute of my internship was regarding the proper format of giving personal details formally i.e., whenever submitting details for a formal thing you are not supposed to submit it in a tabular form like Name - ____, College - _____ … but rather in a paragraph like My name is ____ studying in ______.
