RAWALPINDI: The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) of the Pakistan Army is successfully conducting its Winter Internship Programme 2026 across the country. The initiative is being widely viewed as a constructive step toward guiding young minds in a positive and informed direction for national development.
The internship programme began on January 12 and will continue until February 20, 2026. It is being held at 27 different locations across 25 cities nationwide. In such a case, more than 4,500 students from diverse academic institutions and backgrounds are participating in this large-scale national initiative, indicating broad interest and engagement from Pakistan’s youth.
Furthermore, the programme includes a series of specialized lectures and interactive sessions covering key topics such as national security, geopolitics, the role of media, hybrid warfare, and the responsible use of social media.
In this regard, participants are also being briefed on the internal and external challenges faced by Pakistan. These sessions are designed to promote fact-based understanding, critical thinking, and resilience against misinformation and negative propaganda.
In this case, the significant component of the internship focuses on introducing participants to the professional training, discipline, and organizational structure of the Pakistan Army. As part of this effort, students are taken on guided visits to military installations, where they receive firsthand information about the Army’s working mechanisms, sacrifices, and role in national defense.
So far, students participating in the programme have expressed appreciation for the initiative, describing it as an important platform for intellectual and ethical development. They noted that the internship provides valuable opportunities to learn, reflect, and grow, contributing positively to their personal and professional development.
Meanwhile, the participants further mentioned that the ISPR internship offers an open and encouraging environment where questions are welcomed, understanding is promoted, and accurate information is shared.
