The Ten-Day Internship Programme on âEmpowering Students through Skill Development in Handicrafts: A Soft Skills and Entrepreneurship Internshipâ is an innovative, skill-oriented initiative organized by Uttarsuri, Sribhumi, Assam, in collaboration with the Department of Bengali, Gauhati University, Guwahati, from 28th October to 6th November 2026 at Bipin Chandra Paul Smriti Bhawan, Ramkrishna Mission Road, Sribhumi.
The programme aims to empower students by introducing them to the creative, practical and entrepreneurial dimensions of handicrafts. It seeks to bridge the gap between academic learning and employability by developing hands-on skills alongside essential soft skills required for personal and professional growth.
The internship will provide practical exposure to selected handicraft techniques, creative design, product development, finishing and presentation. Alongside these practical sessions, participants will receive training in communication skills, teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, time management, creativity, confidence building and professional behaviour.
Through a combination of expert sessions, demonstrations, hands-on workshops, interactive activities, group work and entrepreneurial exercises, the internship will provide participants with a meaningful learning experience and practical skills that can be applied beyond the classroom.
The programme ultimately seeks to foster creativity, confidence, employability and entrepreneurship, enabling students to transform their skills and ideas into meaningful opportunities for personal, professional and economic development
