STUDY UNDERTAKEN
MONITORING OF
ELECTION PROCESS
We went to various election booths of Jaipur
and nearby cities to observe the functioning
of election polling and to check if any
malpractices were there. With my group I
monitored 35 different booths to check the
facilities available for disabled people and on
finding any problem or anything suspicious I
complained regarding the same on cVigil app.
SHELTER VISIT
We visited shelters for homeless people to check if the
basic facilities are available or not. Our observation-
We found the situation was very bad. Since there were
no women taking shelters there, the officials there
started converting women’s room into electricity room
and there is no proper toilets for women in spite of a
structure being present. The building boasts of a CCTV
surveillance system but actually there are no CCTVs and
there is no regular cleaning. No proper mattresses with
pillows. The second location was near the Sanganer
airport gate no. 1, the good thing about this shelter was
that the surroundings were clean and the caretakers
were responsive. But the shelter lacked basic facilities
like toilets, less mattresses than the capacity of the
shelter. Less registration by the people because of the
shelter being new. One thing good was that this shelter
had an arrangement for keeping the body warm at night
by using some wood.
PLAY PERFORMANCE

A group of interns performed a play at

various places of Jaipur. The play focused on
the wrongs which are suffered by women
every day. It depicted the story of two girls
from Uttarakhand and Agra who were burnt
alive for saying no for marriage to a man. We
made various slogans and posters to create
awareness among the people about the
atrocities suffered by women.
EXPERIENCE
This internship was my first experience of working in the professional
field. The work was demanding but I did my best to contribute towards
the work done by the PUCL. There were many memorable moments
and awkward situations I faced while working there. These moments
brought a considerable change in my perception of the world around
me. This internship helped me in making me aware towards the needs
of the unprivileged section of our society.
