 INTRODUCTION

This report is a short description of my 1(one) months internship

carried out as compulsory component of the MA in Economics
program. The internship is carried out within the organization
name Indian Mental Health and Research Centre (IMHRC) a
national NGOs.
At the very outset of this internship, I formulated several
learning goals which I hunted to achieve,
To understand the functioning and working conditions of
non government organization;
To see how can I adjust in the professional environment;
To oversee the prospect of working in NGO for my future
career;
To use my achieve skills and knowledge;
To oversee what skills and knowledge I still needed to work
in a professional environment;
To manage a project in the field level ;
To enhance my communication skills ;
To build a network.
This internship report contains my activities that have
contributed to achieve a number of my stated goals. In the
following a description of the organization IMHRC and the
activities is given. After this self evaluation, reflection on my
functioning and the learning goals achieved during the internship
are described any program in detail including office project
namely work on admission and account department due to
shortage of time.
1.1-INTERNSHIP OBJECTIVE

to promote people-centered development This internship

programme was designed to assist social development students
to link theory and practice, and to develop selected competencies
in this regard. This programme was scheduled in accordance
with the educational tasks required and the parameters of the
organization. I started the internship on 21 November 2022 and
will be finishing on the 22 December 2022. During the
internship I observed recorded and analysed the links between
youth and unemployment, poverty, and inequality in India. This
analysis was influenced by the national youth policy of india
including other policies, programmes and initiatives which
respond to unemployment and youth development in India. This
problem was then linked to the youth development programmes
offered by IMHRC in its bid to fight youth unemployment,
poverty, and inequality. The internship contributed to an
understanding of how social development professionals can
work in non governmental organizatio

1.2-INTERNSHIP PROCESS

The approach which was taken included participatory

observations. I participated in some of the programme that imhrc
and its partners are running and trying to link them to social
development theories and practice. Some information was also
gathered personal with the employees at imhrc and focuses
group discussion and staff development meetings as well. The
library and lectures notes, books and recent journals articles
assisted me in my internship journey. I also had supervision
session with my agency supervisor and department supervisor to
assist me to make the whole internship period a success.

1.3-LIMITATION OF THE INTERNSHIP

INTERNSHIP DURATION:

The duration of internship was a limitation for me in terms of

mastering organizational functioning, 1 month ( four week) is
too short to adapt to a new organization and to start deliver to
your maximum capacity. I went to organization four days in a
week and on the other three days attend the class at our
University which means that I would miss out of the some
important programs that take place on the other three days.
Adding on to that, the first weeks of the month the main aim was
to get to know the organization better which comprised more
learning and adjusting, when I settled in I realized that I was at
the verge of concluding the internship. Even though the
objective were accomplished, some were done through desktop
research than being actively involved. Learning to work for an
organization that works for the community or to work in a team
is a long process that requires one to know the community very
well and its needs to which one month seems too little to grasp
the concept.

Naturally one can acquire knowledge and skills at the end of any
program. In one sentence I can say this internship enriched my

am stating some knowledge and skills in brief.
Knowledge and skills gained: This internship has changed my

SECTION-5

5.1-METHODOLOGY

The methodology followed in preparation of the report was

to just finding the details of the accounting and related
aspects and not to evaluate. Both secondary and primary
data were collected.

Case study method

Another mention worthy dimension that is followed the
case study method to draw conclusions and have tried to
generalize the overall NGOs accounting practices in light of
one NGO. The reasons for doing that is such:
 There are no specific standards for prepration of
accounts of NGOs,
 NGOs differ roughly in terms of procedure followed
 Projects undertaken differ in terms of accounting
practice
  Time and cost would be huge to analyze more than one
NGOs.
As the rationale for following case study method in analyzing
above, I have tried to generalize as much as possible.

5.2-DATA COLLECTION
Data were collected in the following manner:
 Primary data was collected through in depth open ended
interview of front end management personal at IMHRC
 Face to face converstaion with the respective staffs of the
IMHRC
 Relevant field study as provided by the officer concern
 Practical deskwork
 IMHRC website and other related websites
 Annual report of IMHRC
 Organization printed materials such as different manuals
and publications
 Unpublished data received from the Head Office
 Information was collected through accounting reports of the
selected NGO
 Various laws, regulations, circulars were collected from
internet, books.

5.3-Data Analysis
 In analyzing the collected data, the annual report, the
internal audit report and verbal information were
compiled.
 The interviews are administered by formal and
informal discussion. No structured questionare is used.
  I analyzed the data with the objective of preparing the
overview, not comparing with any set of standards.
 When analyzed, I also have considered the NGOs
nature, requirement etc.
 Collection data were categorized according to the
relevant field of accounting for better undrestanding
and coceptualization and organization.

SECTION-6

CONCLUSION
All in all the internship practicum I conducted at Indian Mental
Health and Research Centre availed me with the tools, people,
processes with which I was able to practically understand the
link between what I learned in college with in the scope
Economics and Finance specifically in the areas of Economy.
And my NGO internship was in a well-known NGO working in
the Lucknow. It is an only Government approved organization in
the field of Mental health and youth development around the
world. And their mission is constantly deepening research and
bridging new partnerships to innovate and provide scalable,
sustainable solutions for the most challenging problems faced by
youth.
My training period was from 21st November to 21st December
2022 with this NGO. I got privileged to get trained under the
organization, which is vested with immense powers of settling
the students problems without entering into cumbersome
litigation procedure.
I am conclude that in my one month training period with this
organization I dealt with many problem of youth. And I received
lot of practical knowledge and it also helped me in knowing in
reality.
At last this internship has given me new insights and motivation
to pursue a career in Economics.

Thank You
