PM Internship Scheme in Jharkhand
Jharkhand is the mineral heartland of India, holding 40% of the country's mineral wealth. Jamshedpur is home to Tata Steel's original integrated steel plant — the first in Asia — while Bokaro hosts SAIL's Bokaro Steel City. The state's mineral richness also drives a significant coal mining sector through Coal India subsidiaries.
Economic Overview
Jharkhand is the mineral heartland of India, holding 40% of the country's mineral wealth. Jamshedpur is home to Tata Steel's original integrated steel plant — the first in Asia — while Bokaro hosts SAIL's Bokaro Steel City. The state's mineral richness also drives a significant coal mining sector through Coal India subsidiaries.
This economic backdrop makes Jharkhand 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
Jamshedpur (also called Tata Nagar) is a unique planned city — well-maintained, safe, and with good facilities. Working inside a legacy steel plant is an experience few young Indians get. Industrial internships are hands-on and demanding, but the learning curve is steep and rewarding.
