About Program
IHD India specialize in placing international interns with grassroots NGOs in India. These include NGOs working to improve human rights, health, education and the environment. The program begins with an orientation and training followed by observation and work in the field. We believe that this experience is more comprehensive than many others since interns gain a theoretical and practical understanding of the sector. Whatever your experience, doing an internship in India is both challenging and hugely rewarding!
