Mumbai BJP President and MLA Ameet Satam makes the announcement during interaction with first-time voters

“After the BMC elections, we will be launching an internship programme for Gen Z students interested in public policy and governance. Under this initiative, two interns will be assigned to each of Mumbai’s 24 administrative wards, with an additional two at the BMC headquarters. This programme will provide an opportunity for 50 young individuals who have completed courses in public policy and governance to observe civic systems, offer suggestions, and prepare research papers to strengthen urban planning and civic administration. After the BMC elections, these interns will actively work within the BMC under the programme,” said MLA Ameet Satam.

MLA Ameet Satam further said that the internship programme will follow a structured professional selection process with clear criteria. This will ensure the most deserving Gen Z candidates are chosen to contribute to civic governance, he added.
