Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena launched the 'Zhabstok Ladakh' Youth Internship Portal. Candidates can apply through the official website, internship.ladakh.gov.in.

The administration will conduct document verification from Sept 6 to Sept 14, with the internship scheduled to begin on Sept 17.

Participants will be placed in different departments based on their skills and interests. The program will provide them with practical exposure to government functioning, public administration and the implementation of policies, proposals, programs and projects.

The initial internship period is three months. Candidates who perform well may receive an additional three-month extension based on their performance.

Interns who successfully complete the program will also receive certificates.

Speaking at the launch, Lieutenant Governor Saxena said the initiative would give young people practical experience while allowing them to contribute their ideas to government departments.

The administration said the program is aimed at increasing youth participation in government-related projects and public administration, particularly as a large proportion of Ladakh's population is below 30 years of age.

The key dates for the Ladakh Youth Internship 2026 program are:

  • Registration: August 22 to September 5, 2026
  • Document verification: September 6 to September 14, 2026
  • Internship start date: September 17, 2026
