A typical internship would be of 2 months duration but shorter or longer periods could be negotiated in accordance with the nature of the project.
Internships at ANCF would usually offer a stipend of Rs 3000 per month which is intended to meet local transportation and other incidental costs. If the project involves outstation travel to a field site, ANCF would reimburse all normal travel and subsistence expenses on an ‘actuals’ basis.
Applicants for ANCF internships normally are required to have their applications forwarded by the Heads of their respective institutions. However interns could also be young mid career professionals not currently attached to an institution.
