CM Punjab Agriculture Internship Program

Good news for agriculture graduates in Punjab — the CM Punjab Agriculture Internship Program Phase 2 is officially live! If you’re someone who’s just stepped out of university with a degree in agriculture or a related field, this is your chance to gain real experience — and get paid for it too.

After the huge response to Phase 1, the Punjab government has brought this internship back — this time with more seats, better training, and a monthly stipend that makes it easier for fresh grads to focus on learning, not just earning.

What’s This Internship All About?

Let’s be real. Most agriculture students finish their degrees with lots of theory but very little hands-on experience. That’s exactly where this program comes in.

Here’s what you get:

Field-based, practical training
Exposure to modern farming techniques
A monthly stipend between Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 35,000
And a government-recognized certificate once you complete the program

Many students from Phase 1 shared how this internship helped them connect their classroom knowledge to real-world problems — something that’s seriously lacking in our education system. So now, Phase 2 is here to build on that momentum.

What’s the Purpose Behind Phase 2?

Let’s face it, farming isn’t what it used to be. It’s no longer just about tractors and tube wells — it’s about drones, mobile apps, smart irrigation, and climate-resilient techniques.

That’s why the government’s goals for Phase 2 include:

Training youth in modern agriculture and agribusiness
Helping grads find employment (govt & private sector)
Promoting agri-tech like soil testing kits, drip irrigation, and crop monitoring apps
Encouraging research that improves yield and cuts down farming costs

Who’s Eligible to Apply?

Here’s what you need to qualify:

Punjab domicile
Age under 30
A degree in Agriculture, Horticulture, Food Tech, Soil Sciences, Agribusiness, etc.
Fresh graduates are preferred, but if you have some experience, don’t worry — you can still apply
