PM Internship Scheme in Himachal Pradesh
Himachal Pradesh is India's largest pharmaceutical manufacturing hub by volume — the Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh (BBN) industrial zone in Solan district hosts over 1,000 pharmaceutical units, producing nearly 40% of India's OTC medicines. FMCG giants Nestle, Dabur, and Parle also run major plants here.
Economic Overview
Himachal Pradesh is India's largest pharmaceutical manufacturing hub by volume — the Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh (BBN) industrial zone in Solan district hosts over 1,000 pharmaceutical units, producing nearly 40% of India's OTC medicines. FMCG giants Nestle, Dabur, and Parle also run major plants here.
This economic backdrop makes Himachal Pradesh one of the more active states in the PM Internship Scheme, with companies across multiple sectors offering hands-on internship roles to young candidates.
What to Expect as an Intern
Life in the BBN industrial zone is very different from Shimla. The area is industrial but set amid hills. Accommodation is available near the plants. The work is manufacturing-intensive — good for candidates who want real hands-on plant experience in regulated pharmaceutical environments.
