The India Water Portal has several intern positions up for grabs. Positions range from film makers, visual designers to software enthusiasts, offering a chance to work at the forefront of water activism in India.
Another activity would be to update the Wikipedia page on Water and Sanitation in India, which has become a bit outdated. Please check the link for more information http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_and_sanitation_in_India
There is a lot of confusion about data related to water. Most of the available data is with the government and it is not easy to get the data. Even for the data that is given away by the government, the procedure for getting the data is not easy and so the data is not widely available. Many organizations who work closely with the government have over time got a lot of data in the course of their interactions but that data does not get disseminated more widely.
The researcher would gather as much water data as possible from Government and other organizations. Research methodology would include researching online for all the available information, meeting with government officials, and networking with other researchers in this field.
Computers - Interns must bring their own laptops or at least have a home computer. Costs , India Water Portal will not be able to provide any financial support for interns. However any expenses for work-related travel and for consumables would be reimbursed. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
